# Updates and versions

Curator has a built-in updater. You do not need to download a new file or reinstall.

## How updates arrive

When a new version is available, an in-app prompt appears and offers to update. Curator is notarized by Apple, so updates install cleanly with no Gatekeeper warning.

## Controlling updates

The controls live in **Settings** under **General**.

| Control | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Check automatically for updates** | Looks for new versions on launch and in the background. On by default. |
| **Check for updates now** | Checks immediately and shows your current version. |

## Current version

The current version is **1.0.0**.

> [!NOTE]
> PLACEHOLDER: confirm the update cadence and release channel if there is one (for example a stable channel only, or an optional early channel) and add it here.
