About:
SwiftOutdated is a command-line utility that scans Swift package dependencies and identifies outdated versions. It queries the Swift Package Index to compare your current lockfile against the latest available releases, providing clear visibility into dependency drift. This helps developers maintain secure and up-to-date projects without manual checks.
Key Features:
  • Fast dependency scanning via Swift Package.resolved file
  • Clear, color-coded terminal output
  • Support for both SwiftPM and Homebrew installations
  • No configuration required, works out-of-the-box
Use Cases:
  • CI/CD pipeline checks to enforce dependency freshness
  • Pre-release audits before shipping Swift applications
  • Routine maintenance for Swift library maintainers
Alternatives:
  • swift package update – Native Swift command updates packages but doesn't provide a quick, read-only audit of what is outdated.
  • Dependabot – Automated GitHub service that creates PRs; SwiftOutdated is a local CLI tool for manual inspection.
