Installation

macOS

Requires an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later) running macOS 13.3 Ventura or later.

1. Download DocGraph-mac-apple-silicon.dmg from docgraph.app/dl/mac. It always gets the latest version.
2. Open the disk image and drag DocGraph into your Applications folder.
3. Launch DocGraph from Applications.

Intel Macs, Windows and Linux

The first release is for Apple Silicon Macs only. Intel Macs, Windows and Linux are coming later, after they have been fully tested.

Updates

The daily update check is on by default: the first check comes a while after launch, then at most once a day, as a single request that shows on the network badge and in the Activity log. To stop it, turn off Check for updates automatically in Settings → General → Updates; then a check only happens when you click Check for updates there. Updates are cryptographically signed and verified before installing.

If automatic checking is off, DocGraph asks once, in a banner under the title bar: Let DocGraph check for updates automatically? Turn on or × (no thanks). Either answer is final.

Install an update

When a new version is out, a bar appears under the title bar: DocGraph X is available, with the release date. Its buttons:

Button	Does
What’s new	Shows what changed in that version
Update	Downloads and installs it, with the progress in the bar
Skip this version	Stops offering this version; the next one is offered as usual
× (Later)	Hides the bar for now
Restart now	Appears once the update is installed. Restart to finish

Check for updates in Settings → General → Updates does the same by hand. It tells you when you’re already on the latest version, and offers Install and restart when you’re not.

What’s new after an update

After a feature update, DocGraph opens a What’s new tab once, describing the changes. Its screenshots come from docs.docgraph.app. They load by themselves while automatic update checks are on (the default); otherwise click Load screenshots. To stop the tab opening by itself, turn off Show release notes after an update in Settings → General → Updates. You can open it any time from Help → Release Notes, the Show Release Notes command, or What’s new in this version in Settings.
