App Auto-Patch

A native macOS app that keeps third-party applications up to date by driving Installomator under a persistent root LaunchDaemon.

Keep apps current automatically

A periodic background pass finds apps with updates available that aren’t currently running and patches them silently.

MDM-friendly

Every preference is honored through the xyz.techitout.appAutoPatch domain. Existing 3.5.0 profiles deploy against 4.x with no edits.

Self-update

AAP patches itself through the same pipeline it uses for every other app.

Audit trail

Per-app receipt history and a timestamped deferral event log answer the “I never saw a prompt” question without log grepping.

Guided first run

A three-step setup wizard approves the helper, deploys Installomator and discovers apps. Managed Macs skip it automatically.

One-click diagnostics

Generate a diagnostic bundle with logs, redacted prefs, helper state and receipts for faster support.
