Update notificationExtraBrain notifies you before an update needs to be applied.

Automatic updates help keep provider integrations, permissions handling, and app fixes current. If you disable them, check releases manually before important sessions.

  1. Keep automatic updates enabled for normal use.
  2. Restart or relaunch when ExtraBrain asks to finish applying an update.
  3. Before a critical session, open ExtraBrain early enough to let any pending update finish.

Can I use ExtraBrain while an update downloads?

Section titled “Can I use ExtraBrain while an update downloads?”

Yes. Updates are prepared in the background. Apply them when prompted and when it is safe to restart the app.

Should I disable updates before a live session?

Section titled “Should I disable updates before a live session?”

Usually no. Instead, open ExtraBrain ahead of time and confirm it is ready before the session starts.
