Alfredo — update channel

Built releases of Alfredo, a native launcher for macOS. The source code is closed; this repository exists for two things:

• Releases — the archives the app downloads when it updates;
• appcast.xml — the feed it reads to learn a new version exists.

The feed is served at https://alfredo-updates.bookoff.me/appcast.xml.

Why this repository is public

The app downloads updates without authentication, so the files have to be reachable without it.

This costs nothing in security: every entry in appcast.xml carries an EdDSA signature, and the public key is embedded in the app. Without the private key an archive cannot be swapped — the app simply refuses to install it. The update host does not need to be trusted.

About the “Source code” assets

GitHub attaches a source archive to every release automatically, and there is no way to turn that off. Those archives contain this repository — a README, a CNAME file and the appcast, under a kilobyte in total. Alfredo’s own source is not here and is not published.

Install

Grab the latest DMG from Releases and drag Alfredo into Applications. It updates itself from there.
