Sextant now tells you when a newer version is out.

  • Update checker. Once a day, and whenever you choose Sextant ▸ Check for Updates…, Sextant asks GitHub for its newest release. When there's a newer one, the menu bar panel and the Sextant menu say so. The Software Update window links the release notes, and either the download or, if Homebrew installed Sextant, the brew upgrade --cask sextant command to copy. Nothing downloads or installs by itself. Skip This Version hides the notice until a newer release. Settings › General can turn the daily check off (ADR 0063).
  • Privacy. The check is one request to GitHub, which sees your IP address and Sextant's version, and nothing else: no cookies, no other identifiers. The README's privacy section says so.

Install or update with brew install --cask afrase/tap/sextant (or brew upgrade --cask sextant). Builds are signed ad hoc, not notarized; see the README.
