Updates

Devbar keeps itself up to date with signed, notarized releases that download in the background.

Devbar checks for updates when it starts and every six hours, and downloads new versions in the background. When an update is ready, Restart and update appears in the menu below Settings. Choose it to update now, or quit Devbar as usual and the update installs before the next launch.

To check right away, open Settings and choose Check for updates….

How it works

Updates use Sparkle. Only the GitHub release marked Latest is offered, and each one includes a signed update feed and a signed, notarized app. Versions that are the same as or older than yours are ignored.

The update check sends no credentials and no system profile.
