Staying up to date

Daisy checks whether a newer version is available and lets you know with a banner. Updates are notify-only: you download and install them yourself, and Daisy never installs anything on its own.

The update banner

When a new version is found, an info banner appears at the top of the app. It shows:

  • The new version number ("Daisy X is available").
  • The version you are currently on.
  • A link to the release notes and download page (here), which opens the changelog in your browser.

To close the banner, select the dismiss (✕) button. Dismissing also tells Daisy to stop showing you that version — you'll still be notified when a later one is released.

After you download and install the new version the same way you installed Daisy, your data and settings stay in place.

Check on demand

Open Settings → About and select Check for new version now. Daisy either names the version that's available — with its notes and a download link — or tells you this is the newest release. Nothing is downloaded or installed either way.

Turn automatic checks on or off

  1. Go to Settings and open the About section.
  2. Find Check for new versions automatically.
  3. Toggle it off or on.

When this is on, Daisy checks for updates shortly after launch and again every six hours while the app stays open. If you're offline, or the release manifest hasn't been published yet, the check quietly does nothing. Turning the toggle off stops the automatic checks; you can still check on demand with the button above.

About also shows which version you're running, along with the build number.
