Have you looked at Sparkle? Assuming that you aren’t in the Mac App Store…

Up until now, users have just had to go to our website to download updates, assuming they know about them. But we want to provide something more automated that will check (or allow checking) if an update is available and allow downloading and installing it without the user having to initiate the process (unless they want to do it manually, naturally).

Or would a custom daemon or something similar installed with our plug-ins and running on the users' systems be more appropriate? We most likely don't want to do the update checks from within our software, because they're plug-ins running inside audio hosts (and may be sandboxed). But I'm just not sure where to begin here. Any help would or pointers on where to begin looking would be appreciated.
