How to update ScreenSorts on your Mac

ScreenSorts' developer publishes each version on their own page at screensorts.app. Below is how to run that update yourself, then how Floodtide does it for you, alongside every other app on the Mac.

Update ScreenSorts by hand

  1. Download the current build from screensorts.app. ScreenSorts' developer publishes each release at screensorts.app. Get the Mac build from there.
  2. Replace the old copy. Quit ScreenSorts, open the download and put the new ScreenSorts 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 ScreenSorts' 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.
  • ScreenSorts is asked to quit politely if it is open, and never forced.

Questions about ScreenSorts

Does Floodtide update ScreenSorts?

Yes. ScreenSorts is in Floodtide's signed catalog, which reads ScreenSorts' 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 ScreenSorts?

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 ScreenSorts if it is running and puts the new version in place.

Will updating ScreenSorts lose my settings?

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