Automatic Updates, Autostart, and Setup Polish

The next wave of Promptlight releases made the app easier to install, keep current, and fit into a daily Mac workflow.

Covers versions: 0.0.2, 0.0.8, 0.0.9, 0.0.10, 0.0.11, 0.0.12, and 0.0.13

Once the core launcher was in place, the work shifted toward making Promptlight easier to live with.

What changed

  • Automatic updates arrived, including background checks, clearer update notices, and easier install flow.
  • Onboarding was redesigned to better explain how Promptlight works the first time you open it.
  • Settings expanded so you could manage startup behavior and other app preferences in one place.
  • Autostart support made it easier to keep Promptlight ready whenever you logged into your Mac.
  • Smaller UI improvements around setup and status messaging reduced friction when getting started.

Why it matters

This is the stretch where Promptlight became easier to trust as a real desktop app, not just a utility you had to babysit.

When updates install smoothly and setup gets out of your way, it is much easier to keep Promptlight in your workflow instead of letting it drift out of habit.
