Keep Postico 1 up to date on your Mac

Postico 1 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 Postico 1 gets updated

Floodtide reads the Homebrew catalog, a community-maintained index of Mac software, to learn which version of Postico 1 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.
  • Postico 1 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 Postico 1 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 Postico 1

Does Floodtide update Postico 1?

Yes. Postico 1 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 Postico 1?

It downloads the vendor's official build, verifies it against the checksum the catalogue publishes, quits Postico 1 if it is running, swaps the bundle, and keeps the previous version for seven days so the update can be undone.

Will updating Postico 1 lose my settings?

No. Floodtide replaces the application bundle only. Preferences, licences and documents live outside it and are untouched.
