Keep Almendra up to date on your Mac
Almendra is covered by Floodtide. It shows up in your update list the moment a newer version ships, and updates in one click along with everything else on this Mac.
How Almendra gets updated
Floodtide reads the Homebrew catalog, a community-maintained index of Mac software, to learn which version of Almendra is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version it will move to and the download size. Pressing Update, or Update All, does the rest:
- The vendor’s own build is downloaded, several apps at a time, with real progress.
- The download is verified against the checksum the catalogue publishes.
- Almendra is asked to quit politely if it is open, and never forced.
- The bundle is swapped and the old version kept for seven days, so Undo Last Update always works.
- The replacement’s code signature is checked; a build signed worse than the one you had is rolled back automatically.
If Almendra lives in a folder macOS protects, the swap asks for your administrator password once for the whole batch, exactly as the Finder does when you install anything by hand.
Questions about Almendra
Does Floodtide update Almendra?
Yes. Almendra is in the Homebrew catalog that Floodtide reads, so it appears in your update list automatically when a newer version is published, with no configuration.
How does Floodtide install a new version of Almendra?
It downloads the vendor's official build, verifies it against the checksum the catalogue publishes, quits Almendra if it is running, swaps the bundle, and keeps the previous version for seven days so the update can be undone.
Will updating Almendra lose my settings?
No. Floodtide replaces the application bundle only. Preferences, licences and documents live outside it and are untouched.
