How to update HapiGo on your Mac

1. Let HapiGo update itself. Open HapiGo. It checks for new versions on its own, and if it has not offered one yet, look in the HapiGo menu, or under Help or its preferences, for Check for Updates, then let it download and relaunch.
2. Upgrade the Homebrew cask. If you installed HapiGo with Homebrew, open Terminal and run brew upgrade --cask hapigo. Homebrew downloads the current build, checks it against the checksum it publishes and replaces the app in your Applications folder.
3. Or download it from hapigo.com. Otherwise get the current build from hapigo.com, which is the same download Homebrew points at. Quit HapiGo, open the download and put the new HapiGo 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.

brew upgrade --cask hapigo

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.

Floodtide reads the same Homebrew record for HapiGo that the brew command above does, without needing Homebrew installed, to learn which version 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.
• HapiGo 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.

Every download of HapiGo is checked against the checksum Homebrew publishes before anything is replaced.

If HapiGo 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.
