Installing from and tracking AUR updates

Returning back to Arch after a few months with other distro. I used to use yaourt to install packages from AUR. I liked yaourt as it could even track updates to AUR packages and provided an option to install those and it felt more like pacman in usage. I read from yaourt's AUR page that it is no longer maintained. What AUR helper do you use or recommend?

Re: Installing from and tracking AUR updates

My post doesn't address your question about an AUR helper, but you can consider doing it manually.  What I do:

Installation: I use wget for the tarball and build the packages manually.
Updating: I bookmarked all my AUR packages and load them all at once in firefox.

Re: Installing from and tracking AUR updates

I build aur packages manually and then put them in a local repo.  Then I have a simple python script that checks the versions in the repo against the versions currently in aur.  Cron runs the script weekly, and if there are any outdated packages in my repo I get an email.
