Update ExtraBrain
Keep ExtraBrain current for provider compatibility, capture fixes, and new features. Update handling differs between direct download and the Mac App Store.
Direct-Download App
Section titled “Direct-Download App”The app checks for updates and presents the available update flow. Use Check for Updates in the app’s menu for a manual check. Follow the displayed download and restart controls; a version being available is not the same as an update being installed.
Finish or save your live work before using the install-and-restart action. Reopen ExtraBrain afterward and verify its version and capture permissions if prompted.
Mac App Store App
Section titled “Mac App Store App”Install updates through the Mac App Store using the Apple account that installed the app. Direct-download updater and license controls are not the App Store purchase/update path.
If A Check Fails
Section titled “If A Check Fails”Check network access, try again, and compare the installed version with the official download page. Avoid switching installation sources in the middle of a live session.
There is no separate Settings → Updates tab in the current interface. See Settings Overview for current tab names and Troubleshooting for capture or provider recovery after updating.
