How to update Sync Checker on your Mac
Sync Checker's developer publishes each version on their own page at bresink.com. Below is how to run that update yourself, then what Floodtide does about it, alongside every other app on the Mac.
Update Sync Checker by hand
- Download the current build from bresink.com. Sync Checker's developer publishes each release at bresink.com. Get the Mac build from there.
- Replace the old copy. Quit Sync Checker, open the download and put the new Sync Checker 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 Sync Checker
Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where Sync Checker'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 Sync Checker's own updater, or from the developer's site, and Floodtide is what tells you the day it is due.

Questions about Sync Checker
Does Floodtide update Sync Checker?
Floodtide tells you when Sync Checker has an update. Sync Checker is in Floodtide's signed catalog, which reads the version its developer publishes, so a new release appears in your update list with no configuration. The developer publishes no download Floodtide can check, so the update itself comes from Sync Checker's own updater or the developer's site.
How does Floodtide install a new version of Sync Checker?
It does not install this one itself. It shows you the new version as soon as Sync Checker's developer publishes it, and you update from Sync Checker's own updater or the developer's site.
