Updating Meelio

Meelio checks for updates automatically. When an update is available, it is downloaded in the background so you can continue working without interruption.

When an update is ready to be applied:

  1. You'll see an Update Ready notification or a badge on your avatar.
  2. Click the notification or your avatar and select Restart to Update.
  3. Meelio will restart and apply the update.

Note: Meelio defers installation until you choose to restart. Once the update is downloaded, the installation process can complete even if you are offline.

Troubleshooting Updates

If an automatic update fails:

  • Manual Download — Visit meelio.ai/download to download the latest version.
  • macOS Installation Issues — If you receive an error on macOS during an update, try downloading the latest DMG manually, dragging Meelio to your Applications folder, and choosing Replace when prompted.
  • Antivirus/Firewall — Ensure that Meelio has permission to access the internet to download updates.

To manually check for updates:

  1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner
  2. Select Check for Updates
  3. If an update is available, follow the prompts to download and restart.
