TopOff v1.7.1
v1.7.1 Release Notes
Release Date: April 19, 2026
What's New
Menu Bar Polish
- Refined mug icons — The full and half mug icons were lightly cleaned up for a crisper look in the menu bar without changing their familiar TopOff personality
Asset Cleanup
- SVG-backed menu bar assets — The menu bar image sets now use vector-backed assets directly for cleaner rendering and easier maintenance
- Cleaner asset catalog — Added the missing accent color asset and removed asset-catalog warnings from the build

TopOff v1.7
What's New
Updating Feedback
- Spinner stays active while the menu is open — The menu bar icon now keeps rotating during checks and upgrades even when you click TopOff open, so it never looks like the update paused
Greedy Mode Clarity
- Greedy Mode tooltip — Hover over Options > Greedy Mode to see a quick explanation that it includes apps with built-in auto-update in both checks and upgrades

Full Changelog: v1.6.0...v1.7
TopOff v1.6.0
Fixes
- Fixed admin-auth update retries so upgrades continue correctly after authentication.
Other
- Updated release versioning/docs to 1.6.0.
TopOff v1.5.0
What's New
Greedy Mode Toggle
A new Greedy Mode option in the Options submenu lets you include apps with built-in auto-update (Chrome, Slack, VSCode, etc.) in scheduled background checks. Previously, these casks were only surfaced when manually clicking "Update All (Greedy)" — now they show up automatically when greedy mode is enabled.
When Greedy Mode is off (default):
- Scheduled checks use
brew outdated --verbose - Both "Update All" and "Update All (Greedy)" buttons are shown
When Greedy Mode is on:
- Scheduled checks use
brew outdated --greedy --verbose - Only "Update All (Greedy)" is shown — the normal button is hidden
The setting persists across restarts.
Bug Fix
- Fixed a version mismatch in Info.plist that could cause a false "update available" notification
TopOff v1.4.2
Changes
- Fixed: Build now includes Intel (x86_64) support — v1.4.1 was inadvertently Apple Silicon only
- Added: Universal binary build script for consistent release packaging
TopOff v1.4.1
Changes
- Fixed: Cask upgrades (especially with
--greedy) now properly appear in update history - Improved: Brew output parsing to capture more upgrade formats

What's New
New Features
- Update History — View your recent package updates with version details. Access via Options → "View Update History" (stores last 20 updates)
Fixes
- Intel Mac support — Now runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs (Universal Binary)
Download TopOff-v1.4.dmg (macOS 14+)

TopOff v1.3
What's New
New Features
- Real-time update progress — See exactly which package is being updated as it happens. Click the menu bar icon during an upgrade to watch the progress live — no more wondering what's going on behind the scenes
- Admin retry for protected packages — If a package needs admin access to update (common with cask apps like Chrome or Slack), TopOff detects the permission failure, prompts for your password via the standard macOS dialog, and retries automatically
Improvements
- Animated spinning icon — The menu bar icon now visibly spins during updates so you can tell at a glance when TopOff is actively working
- Fully interactive UI — The app no longer freezes during brew operations — you can open the menu, check status, or quit at any time
Download

TopOff v1.2
New Features
- Outdated package details — See exactly which packages need updating with version numbers (e.g.,
node 20.1.0 → 22.0.0) directly in the menu - Selective package updates — Update individual packages one at a time, or skip packages you don't want to update right now (enable in Settings)
- Brew cleanup — Automatically cleans up old package versions after upgrades, freeing disk space. Shows how much space was reclaimed. Can be switched to manual mode in Settings
- About window — App info, credits, and a link to support development
- Update checker — Checks GitHub for new releases on launch and shows a subtle hint in the menu when an update is available. Manual "Check for Updates" button in the About window with clear feedback
- Settings submenu — All preferences organized in one place: Selective Updates, Auto Cleanup, Launch at Login, and Check Interval
Improvements
- Package version details shown before and after updates
- Active status messages while operations are running
- Check Interval selector uses native macOS picker
- Package list capped at 5 with overflow indicator for cleaner menus
