Coverage chart / HealthTick
Keep HealthTick up to date on your Mac
HealthTick 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 HealthTick gets updated
Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where HealthTick'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.
- 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.
- HealthTick is asked to quit politely if it is open, and never forced.
Questions about HealthTick
Does Floodtide update HealthTick?
Yes. HealthTick is in Floodtide's signed catalog, which reads HealthTick's own release source, 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 HealthTick?
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 HealthTick if it is running and puts the new version in place.
Will updating HealthTick lose my settings?
No. Floodtide replaces the application only. Preferences, licences and documents live outside it and are untouched.
