Updating

Yapcam checks for updates when it starts (Sparkle, EdDSA-signed, no system profile is sent). When a new version is available, the toolbar shows Update; you can also use Yapcam ▸ Check for Updates…, and turn the automatic check off in Settings. Releases are also published here on GitHub; your projects are never touched by an update.

Known limitations

Apple Silicon and macOS 15+ only.
