Updates and Account

Updating your TextExpander Mac or Windows app

TextExpander uses an automatic updating service to alert you when new releases of the TextExpander Mac and Windows apps are available. By default, TextExpander will check daily for updates, but you can modify that to hourly, weekly or monthly.

To manually check for updates, follow these steps:

• Open your TextExpander Mac or Windows desktop app
• Click the three dots in the lower left corner and select “Preferences”
• Click “Update” and then “Check for Updates”

The update service also collects anonymous system profile information, which helps us better plan the ongoing development of TextExpander. If you do not wish to share this information, uncheck the box.

You may also view the version of TextExpander you are running.
