Freeware dashboard widget App Update checks Version Tracker to make sure your Mac's third-party software is up-to-date. After App Update checks your system, it provides links to the respective Version Tracker pages so you can download and install the updates. You can configure the widget to automatically check daily or weekly, and it supports Growl so that you can be notified when updates are available. You can also add Apple Downloads and Mac Update as update sources to potentially find updates for more of your installed software. If you don't install all of your apps into your /Applications folder, simply add your desired paths into the "Path Settings" area of the widget's config section.
Since Mac users can't benefit from a system-wide package manager like that of Ubuntu, using this simple dashboard widget can keep your software updated.

"AppFresh" FTW! A little sluggish if you have lots of apps, but seems to work well.
