App Mechanic v0.6.2

  • 🚩 False Alarm Button & Status Badge: Distinct from 🚫 Ignore (which skips a single version), clicking 🚩 False Alarm marks an app or CLI tool in ~/Library/Application Support/AppMechanic/false_alarms.json, gives it a dedicated 🚩 False Alarm badge and filter tab, and keeps it counted as healthy even if upstream catalogs bump versions again.
  • 📣 1-Click Inaccuracy Reporter Modal: Pre-fills the exact app, installed version, reported latest version, catalog source, install method, and macOS version so users can report catalog mismatches via GitHub Issue or Email in one click.
  • Includes v0.6.1 AI CLI Updater Fixes: Synchronous MUSE_SYNC_UPDATE=1 muse --version, codex update, and basecamp upgrade.
  • Officially code-signed with Developer ID (Lieder Digital, LLC) and Apple Notarized.

App Mechanic v0.6.1

  • Basecamp CLI (basecamp): Updated 1-click CLI updater command to use Basecamp's built-in basecamp upgrade self-updater.

Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed app launching for apps with nested helper bundles (such as Wispr Flow) by launching explicit /Applications/<App>.app bundle paths.
  • Updated Mac App Store apps so clicking Launch opens the app directly when up to date, and only opens the Mac App Store when an update is pending.
  • Ignored placeholder Mac App Store ID 0 (e.g. TestFlight apps) and hidden dot-prefixed bundles in /Applications.
