What's new in v0.3.0

Added

  • About panel — accessible from the menu bar. Shows app icon, version, developer info ("by Shakib" with clickable GitHub link), and an integrated Check for Updates button.
  • In-app auto-update — checks GitHub Releases for newer versions, downloads the update, and atomically replaces the app bundle. No browser or manual download required.
  • Menu bar items — "About Pin Top" and "Check for Updates" added to the menu.

How auto-update works

  1. Click Check for Updates (from menu or About panel)
  2. App fetches latest release from GitHub
  3. If a newer version exists, it downloads the zip in the background
  4. Extracts and replaces the app bundle atomically
  5. Relaunches the updated app

Install

Download PinTop-0.3.0.zip below, unzip, move PinTop.app to Applications. First launch: right-click → Open (unsigned app).

Future updates

From now on, click Check for Updates inside the app to stay current — no need to visit GitHub.
