The Updates section

  1. Launch Patcher.
  2. The Updates section is selected by default. If all your apps are up to date, it looks like this:

If there are updates available, you'll see a list of updates like this:

  1. To install an update, just click the Update button of the corresponding app.

The Discover section

You can find all of our apps, including those you have not yet installed, in the Discover section.

You can easily install apps by clicking the Install button of the corresponding app. You can reinstall previously installed apps by holding the Option key. This will turn the Open button into a Reinstall button. Click it to reinstall the app.


Patcher settings

General tab

Hide Discover section

Patcher has a Discover section in its sidebar by default. This section lets you easily find and install all of our apps. It also allows you to reinstall apps you have already installed. If you are not interested in this feature, please select this option.


Updates tab

Update strategy

We developed Patcher to automatically update all of the apps we offer. Ideally, this happens in the background without you noticing. You should always assume that your apps are up to date. However, if you would like more control over the update process, please select the update strategy that works best for you using the Update strategy menu.


Notification interval

If you prefer not to install updates automatically, but would like to be notified when new updates are available, use the Notification interval slider to specify how often you want to be notified (in hours).


Update deferral

If you would like to defer the display and installation of new updates for a certain number of days, use the Update deferral slider to select the number of days you would like to defer the updates from the release date.
