Desktop updates

Desktop updates is a desktop-app setting. The web app is served at its current deployment version and does not use this updater.

Add the update token

The in-app updater downloads from a private distribution repository. Before it can check for an update:

  1. Open Settings → Desktop updates.
  2. Under GitHub token, enter a personal access token with read access to the distribution repository’s releases. The UI recommends fine-grained Contents read-only access.
  3. Select Save token.

The app stores this token only on the device. Select Clear to remove it and disable in-app update checks.

This token is for the in-app updater, not a general app credential. It is separate from the public installer script and from a GitHub token saved under Credentials.

Check and install an update

  1. Under App updates, select Check for updates.
  2. If a compatible update is available, select Download & install when the app offers it.
  3. Select Restart now after installation completes.

Some releases cannot be installed in place. In that case, the page provides a release-page hint instead.

Choose automatic checks

Use Automatic checks to select Launch only, Hourly, 6h, 12h, or Daily. Automatic checks require a saved update token. A new version notification opens this page; failed background checks stay silent.
