Update Waired
Waired tells you when an update is available; applying it is always something you trigger. Nothing updates itself behind your back.
Update now
Section titled “Update now”Click the Waired icon — in the menu bar on macOS, next to the clock on Windows and Linux — and choose the “⚠ Update available” entry when it appears.
Or from a terminal:
waired updateThat checks, shows what it found, and asks before applying.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
waired update |
Check, then apply if a newer version exists |
waired update --check |
Report only — changes nothing |
waired update --yes |
Apply without asking (for scripts and servers) |
What an update keeps
Section titled “What an update keeps”Everything that matters: you stay signed in, this computer keeps its identity and its place in your network, and your settings are preserved. You do not have to set up again.
The AI software and your downloaded models are managed separately and are not
touched by waired update.
Release channels
Section titled “Release channels”| Channel | Who it is for |
|---|---|
| stable (default) | Everyone. Released versions only. |
| edge | Trying unreleased changes. Rebuilt on every merge, not for production. |
waired update keeps this computer on whichever channel it is already on — a
stable install never gets silently moved onto edge, or the other way round.
To switch:
waired update --edge # move to / stay on edgewaired update --stable # move back to stableSwitching swaps the apt source (Linux) or the download it pulls (macOS, Windows), and is allowed in both directions.
