Flock v0.1.3 — auto-updates from here on out

The big change: Flock now checks for new versions on launch and offers a one-click in-app update. From v0.1.3 onward you'll never have to manually re-download a release — when v0.1.4 lands, Flock prompts you to install it from inside the app, downloads in the background, and restarts. No more Gatekeeper dialogs after the first install.

⚠️ This is the last release that requires the manual install dance below. After this, updates happen automatically.

Install on macOS (one last time)

  1. Download Flock_0.1.3_aarch64.dmg (Apple Silicon) or Flock_0.1.3_x64.dmg (Intel) below.
  2. Open the .dmg and drag Flock to your Applications folder.
  3. Open Applications and double-click Flock.
  4. macOS will show a dialog saying "Apple could not verify Flock is free of malware that may harm your Mac." Click Done (not Move to Trash).
  5. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
  6. Scroll down to the Security section. You'll see "Flock was blocked to protect your Mac" with an Open Anyway button. Click it.
  7. Authenticate with your password or Touch ID.
  8. Double-click Flock in Applications again. A new dialog appears with an Open button. Click it.
  9. Flock launches.

Steps 4–8 are needed only once per install. Future automatic updates skip the OS warning entirely because the update package is verified inside the running app.

Install on Windows

  1. Download Flock_0.1.3_x64-setup.exe (or the .msi).
  2. Run it. If Windows SmartScreen shows a warning, click More info → Run anyway.

How to use

  1. Click Connect with Foursquare — your browser will open to Foursquare's login.
  2. Sign in and approve Flock.
  3. Wait for your check-ins to sync.
  4. Explore — map, timeline, filters, and analytics.

Your data stays cached on your machine. Flock talks directly to Foursquare; nothing routes through a third-party server.

Already on an earlier version?

You'll need to install v0.1.3 manually using the steps above — earlier versions don't have the updater baked in yet. After v0.1.3 is installed, every future release auto-prompts.

Known limitations

  • Builds are ad-hoc signed but not Apple-notarized. The Open Anyway dance is required once per fresh install.
  • The auto-updater downloads in the background and restarts Flock. If you have unsaved work in the timeline (e.g., mid-search), finish first.
