Update Manager

Rostyman checks for updates automatically in the background and installs them without interrupting your work.

Automatic Updates

• Checks for a new version every 4 hours while the app is running
• Downloads the update silently in the background
• When ready, shows an update badge (▲ icon) in the status bar
• You decide when to restart — no forced restarts

How to Install an Update

1. Click the update badge (▲) in the status bar
2. A prompt appears: "Rostyman X.X.X is ready to install"
3. Click Restart & Install to apply the update immediately
4. Or dismiss — the badge stays until your next restart

Manual Check

Go to Settings → About → Updates and click Check for Updates to check immediately without waiting for the 4-hour cycle.

Updates Tab

The Updates sub-tab in Settings shows:

Item	Description
Current version	Your installed version
Latest version	Most recent available release
Download progress	Progress bar if an update is currently downloading
Release history	Last 5 releases with changelogs (click to expand)
Download button	Manually download any listed version

Click Show More to load older releases beyond the default 5.

Architecture badge

Next to the current version, the Updates tab shows which build you're running — x64 or ARM64 — so it's always clear you're on the right architecture for your machine.

Include pre-release versions

The Include pre-release versions toggle (off by default) lets the automatic update check and Check for Updates also pick up release candidates and other pre-releases. Turn it on if you want to test new versions as soon as they're available; leave it off to be offered stable releases only.

Rollback

Each release entry in the Updates tab has a Download button. Click it to download and install any previous version — useful if a new release causes an unexpected issue.

macOS Note

On macOS, Rostyman is not yet code-signed. If the auto-updater is blocked by Gatekeeper after an update, run this in Terminal once:

xattr -cr /Applications/Rostyman.app
