How to update Claude Code Tool Manager on your Mac
Claude Code Tool Manager publishes each release on GitHub (tylergraydev/claude-code-tool-manager). Below is how to run that update yourself, then how Floodtide does it for you, alongside every other app on the Mac.
Update Claude Code Tool Manager by hand
- Open the releases page. Go to github.com/tylergraydev/claude-code-tool-manager/releases. The newest release is at the top, and its Assets list holds the Mac build, usually a .dmg or .zip.
- Replace the old copy. Quit Claude Code Tool Manager, open the download and put the new Claude Code Tool Manager in Applications in place of the old one: a disk image is dragged across, an installer package runs its own steps. Your settings and documents live outside the app and are kept.
That is one app. The same walk, through a different menu or page each time, is what every other app on the Mac asks of you, which is where Floodtide comes in.
The shorter route: one click in Floodtide
Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where Claude Code Tool Manager's developer publishes each release, and Floodtide reads that source directly to learn which version is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version that is out, next to every other app on the Mac that is behind.
- The developer's own build is downloaded, with real progress.
- It is checked against a checksum where the source publishes one, otherwise against the developer signature of the copy already installed, and Gatekeeper has to accept it before anything is replaced.
- Claude Code Tool Manager is asked to quit politely if it is open, and never forced.

Questions about Claude Code Tool Manager

How does Floodtide install a new version of Claude Code Tool Manager?
It downloads the developer's own build and checks it before anything on your Mac changes: against a checksum where the source publishes one, otherwise by requiring the same developer signature as the copy already installed, and Gatekeeper has to accept it. Then it quits Claude Code Tool Manager if it is running and puts the new version in place.
Will updating Claude Code Tool Manager lose my settings?
No. Floodtide replaces the application only. Preferences, licences and documents live outside it and are untouched.
