Tor Bridges Updater helps you to retrieve Tor bridges, and reminds you to retrieve them. Updating your bridges in time helps you circumvent censorship, as older bridges can get blocked.
It can also add new bridges to your torrc file. If you don't have access to bridges.torproject.org, you can specify a proxy for connection.
