Photon 0.2.1 can update itself, on the Mac and on Windows.

What's new

  • Updates from the menu. Choose Check for Updates… in the menu (the tray menu on Windows), or let Photon check GitHub once a day (you can turn this off in Settings › General). When a new version is out, Photon shows a notification. On the Mac, Install and Relaunch downloads it, checks its checksum and Apple's notarization, replaces Photon and reopens it. On Windows, Install and Restart checks the download's checksum, swaps in the new Photon.exe and restarts it.
  • Photon waits until you finish capturing, recording or exporting before it installs.

New install

  • Mac: Photon-macOS-arm64.zip, for Apple silicon and macOS 15 or later. Unzip it and drag Photon into Applications.
  • Windows: Photon-windows-x64.zip, for Windows 10 (version 1903 or later) or 11, 64-bit. Unzip it anywhere and run Photon.exe.

Install this version by hand once; later versions install from the menu.
