I just checked - I still have them. I updated (using hombrew cask) to the new version of MacTeX, ant all programs are still there. And TLU still works.

Thanks for the heads up on that. 

I confirmed that tlcockpit is included in the MacTeX 2020 distribution in /Library/TeX/texbin, as a symlink to the target shell script, and it is actively maintained.

Surprising that the missing apps PDF file did not mention that as an alternative GUI based manager that is immediately useable. 

Regards,

Marc

There is also the tlcockpit Java app on CTAN.

use app notarization on Catalina, is that the TeX Live Utility (TLU),
as a GUI interface for updating the TeX distribution contents, is no
longer included in the MacTeX distribution.
