Will it restart in the middle of a recording or a call?

No. It waits while you’re recording, sharing your screen or in a call, and while Presenter Mode or a focus session is on.

Does checking for updates send anything about me?

No. The app downloads a list of versions from clacky.app; the request carries only the app version and what every web request does.

A Blip under the notch: “Updated to 2.7”, with What’s new

What it is

A new version downloads quietly in the background. When you’ve been away for 2 minutes and nothing is recording, shared or in a call, Clacky restarts into it.

Busy? It waits. A dot on the menu bar icon shows an update is ready, and the menu says Update ready · Restart to update.
