This is the official documentation site for PackageUpdateInfo, a PowerShell module that helps you staying up to date with your installed modules by checking all locally installed PowerShell modules and reporting which ones need an update.

About the module

PackageUpdateInfo was born from a real-world need: keeping track of module updates across many installed PowerShell modules is tedious and easy to forget. This module bridges that gap by automatically checking all installed modules against the PowerShell Gallery and presenting a clear overview of available updates.

Key design principles:

• Cross-platform — supports Windows, Linux, and macOS
• Cross-edition compatibility — supports PowerShell Desktop (5.1+) and Core (7.x)
• Configurable — customize update check intervals, version sensitivity rules, and exclusions
• Pipeline-friendly — integrates naturally with PowerShell’s pipeline architecture
• Notification support — optional BurntToast desktop notifications on Windows
