Burnish 0.2.0-beta

What's new

Now accepting returns.

• Put back the version you had before. Every update already left the old copy in the Trash;
  now Burnish remembers which one and brings it back in one click, after checking it as carefully
  as a fresh download. It then skips the version you rolled back from, so Update All doesn't undo
  the undo.
• A history for every app. Updates found, installs, hand-offs and refusals, newest first, kept
  on your Mac.
• A desktop widget. How many updates are waiting, and in the medium size, which ones.
• Apps with their own updater get it. Office opens Microsoft AutoUpdate, Adobe apps open
  Creative Cloud, and Setapp and JetBrains apps open Setapp and Toolbox, instead of a download
  page.
• Tauri apps get checked too. Burnish finds the update address compiled into the app and asks
  it; the app installs the update itself. They used to wait in Can't check, looking left out.
• App Store updates in one trip. With several waiting, one click opens the App Store's
  Updates page, where Apple's Update All does them together.
• Fixed: error messages no longer say "Feed not reachable" twice in one breath, the welcome
  screen now lists every place Burnish talks to (it was four short), and the disk image has
  proper art and passes strict signature checks.

On the command line, burnish restore and burnish history do the same as the app. Every word
Burnish shows now lives in a string catalog, ready for translators once the interface settles.

Install

Download Burnish.dmg (macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel), open it and drag Burnish into Applications.

Burnish isn't notarised by Apple yet, so the first time you open it macOS asks you to confirm: open it once, click Done, then System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. After that it updates itself.
