Bumply is a Mac app for keeping npm, pnpm, Yarn, and Bun projects current. It shows you every command before it runs, backs up your manifest and lockfile byte-for-byte, and rolls back the moment anything fails.
The exact command is shown before it runs, and your manifest and lockfile are copied before it touches them. If the update fails they go back byte-for-byte. If you change your mind a week later, Update History lists every update the project has had and puts those two files back then — and Bumply never writes to your git history.
What is installed, what your manifest asks for, and what the registry offers, each with its source. Every update says whether it stays inside your range or crosses a major.
Advisories come from your package manager’s audit data, read-only: package-lock-only and ignore-scripts. Nothing is installed and no package script runs while Bumply looks.
Bumply finds the build artefacts a project can rebuild from scratch — node_modules, .next, .turbo, Pods — and what each costs. Anything it removes goes to the Trash.

One payment. No subscription, no account, nothing recurring.
Three projects, for as long as you like. Bumply watches the three oldest projects in your list for free, with no account and no expiry: it does not stop working, nothing is deleted, and there is no wall to hit. For the first seven days every project is covered instead of three, so you can try it on all of your work before deciding. A licence lifts the limit for good.
It works offline. It contacts our server once, when you activate, and never again about your licence. It does run your package manager, and that contacts its own registry from your Mac to find out what is outdated — exactly as it does when you run it in a terminal. Those requests go to the registry, not to us.
Yes. A workspace root and the packages inside it are recognised as one project. The screenshot at the top of this page is a pnpm workspace with two packages.
Nothing stops. The licence is perpetual — the year covers new versions, not the right to keep using the app. You stay on the last version released inside your window, and renewing is optional.
Three at a time — a desk machine, a laptop, and one spare. Reinstalling on a Mac you have already activated costs nothing, and when you are done with one, Remove from this Mac in Settings frees its place for the next. The limit is on how many run at once, not on how many you may ever own.
