How updates reach you

Every release on this page lands in the same private GitHub repository you were invited to when you bought Build Mac App. Template updates are included, for as long as the template is maintained. Your copy has your own app in it by then, so nothing is overwritten: ask your agent to run /upgrade-template, and it applies the new release’s changes to your project one recipe at a time, running the checks after each.
