Downloads & updates

Flywrite is an app you download once — after that it keeps itself up to date automatically while your license is active.

Downloading the current version

You can always get the latest version of Flywrite from your account — the download link is on your License page, the first page you see after signing in.

What's new in each release

Every version's new features, improvements, and fixes are listed on the public release notes page.

How auto-updates work

The app checks for updates when it launches and once a day while running. When a new version is available, it downloads in the background — you don't need to visit your account or re-download anything.

Once an update is ready, an "Update to …" button naming the new version appears in the top bar and stays there until you act on it — and Flywrite can ping Notification Center too (turn that off in Settings → Notifications). Click the button and Flywrite installs the update and restarts, right then. If a command or Claude Code agent is still working in a terminal, Flywrite warns you first — that work would be ended by the restart — and waits for you to confirm. Click before the download has finished and the button reads "Restarting after download"; Flywrite restarts as soon as it's ready, or you can click again to cancel.

Not the right moment? Click the small × next to the button to dismiss it without updating — "Check for Updates…" in the app menu brings it back.

You can also check manually at any time via "Check for Updates…" in the app menu — Flywrite notifies you when the update has downloaded and is ready to install.

Updates require an active license

Auto-updates are delivered while your license is active or in its payment grace period. If your subscription has ended, the app stops receiving updates (and switches to read-only mode) until you renew — see Licenses & devices.
