App Monitor 1.2.0 beta 3

This release brings App Monitor's update manager much closer to a complete native update workflow while retaining the cleanup, appearance, and self-update improvements already merged into main.

Highlights

• Finds updates from the Mac App Store, Homebrew, Sparkle, app metadata, Electron, GitHub, and manual sources.
• Adds working source filters, update-row selection, a details inspector, and in-app formatted release notes.
• Opens apps and triggers their built-in updater for guided manual updates without downloading unusable Sparkle delta payloads.
• Adds Homebrew cask adoption, one-click Adopt & Update All, and future updates through Homebrew.
• Requests administrator authorization once and stores it in the user's macOS Keychain through a signed askpass helper. The saved credential can be removed from Settings.
• Reconciles completed App Store and guided updates when App Monitor becomes active again.

Reliability Fixes

• Clears stale update records after an app has actually been updated or adopted.
• Avoids Homebrew cask downgrades and repairs missing cask artifacts when possible.
• Uses compatible Homebrew formula flags and handles cask adoption conflicts more accurately.
• Excludes Xcode DerivedData copies from installed-app update discovery.
• Keeps full Sparkle enclosure URLs while filtering delta-only payloads from guided downloads.

Included Merged Work

• #4: Make cleanup review quarantine-first.
• #5: Add a System, Light, and Dark appearance setting.
• #6: Add App Monitor self-updates and scheduled update checks.
