How to update OBD Auto Doctor on your Mac

OBD Auto Doctor's developer publishes each version on their own page at obdautodoctor.com. Below is how to run that update yourself, then what Floodtide does about it, alongside every other app on the Mac.

Update OBD Auto Doctor by hand

  1. Download the current build from obdautodoctor.com. OBD Auto Doctor's developer publishes each release at obdautodoctor.com. Get the Mac build from there.
  2. Replace the old copy. Quit OBD Auto Doctor, open the download and put the new OBD Auto Doctor 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.

What Floodtide does about OBD Auto Doctor

Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where OBD Auto Doctor'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 publishes the version but no download Floodtide can check, so Floodtide does not install this one itself. The update comes from OBD Auto Doctor's own updater, or from the developer's site, and Floodtide is what tells you the day it is due.
