Updates
How EaseKit updates itself, and what to do when an update doesn't go through.
EaseKit checks for updates automatically and installs them with one click from the sidebar (Install and restart). It downloads the new build, verifies it, swaps itself in place and reopens. After an update, What's New lists the highlights; the full history is in the Changelog.
Check by hand
- Choose EaseKit → Check for Updates…, or click Check now in Settings → General → Updates.
- If a new version is available, click Install update there or Install and restart in the sidebar.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Up to date | You have the latest version |
| Version 0.6 available | An update is ready to install |
| Downloading 40% / Installing… | In progress |
| An error message | The check or download failed; the reason is shown |
If an update fails
- Make sure EaseKit is in your Applications folder. Self-updates only work there.
- Check your internet connection and try Check now again. The error message appears next to the button.
- Reinstall with the one-line installer; your sessions and settings stay where they are:
