Fixes from the first day of using the Mac app, and an icon that matches the rest of macOS.

If you are on 1.7.0, the app offers this update itself: press Download in the strip under the title bar, then Close and install.

Fixed

  • App Store updates work. They failed with "a terminal is required to read the password". The current mas needs administrator rights to update apps; the app now asks for your password in the standard macOS dialog, the same way it does for macOS updates.
  • App Store apps show where they are installed, even when the app's name differs from its store name (Kindle installs as Amazon Kindle).
  • A Python that uv has already upgraded stops being offered. uv keeps the previous version beside the new one, and the old copy kept the update listed. Two copies of the same Python are now labelled with their full version.
  • npm no longer logs a stray { as an error when it finds updates. This affected Windows too.
  • Paths are shortened, not cut off, in the Location column.
  • The manager filter shows the manager's name ("App Store") instead of its internal id.
  • Settings opens without a focus ring on its close button.

Changed

  • A new Mac icon, in Apple's rounded icon shape with a gold rim, so it sits evenly beside other apps in the Dock and Finder.
  • The README is rewritten for both platforms, including the System Settings steps that macOS 15 and later need to open an app that is not notarized.

Install

Download DontLeaveUpdatesToFate-1.7.1-arm64.dmg for a Mac (Apple Silicon), or the setup or portable exe for Windows. A new Mac install needs the one-time Open Anyway step in System Settings › Privacy & Security; see the README.
