How to Update Pluely v1
Pluely keeps itself current — it checks for new versions in the background and downloads them for you, and a manual installer is always one download away.
Pluely updates itself
Pluely v1 updates automatically. The app periodically checks for a newer version in the background and downloads it, so most users never think about updating at all.
Step-by-step: letting Pluely auto-update
- Keep Pluely running or open it periodically — the update check happens during normal use.
- When a new version is available, Pluely downloads it automatically.
- You may see a prompt that an update is ready or will apply on next launch.
- Restart Pluely if prompted so the new version takes effect.
- Carry on as normal — no reinstall or manual download required.
Step-by-step: updating manually
Want the latest version right away, or suspect the automatic updater didn't run?
- Go to pluely.com/downloads in your browser.
- Download the installer for your operating system (macOS, Windows, or Linux).
- Run it — the installer replaces your existing installation with the latest version.
- Open Pluely to confirm it launches normally.
- Your settings, shortcuts, and saved meetings survive a manual update — your local data lives in the app's data folder, which the installer doesn't touch.
Checking your current version
Look for the version number in the dashboard or app info area, and compare it against the latest release listed on pluely.com/downloads.
What updates typically include
Updates commonly bring new model options, overlay refinements, additional bindable shortcuts, and reliability improvements — delivered without you taking any action.
Troubleshooting an update that won't apply
- Fully quit and reopen Pluely rather than just closing the overlay — some updates apply on full relaunch.
- If auto-update seems stuck, download the latest installer from pluely.com/downloads instead of waiting.
- Make sure you have a stable internet connection while Pluely checks and downloads.
- If problems persist after a manual reinstall, do a clean uninstall first, then reinstall.
Tips
- Self-update is the recommended path — you rarely need to intervene.
- Downloading from pluely.com/downloads is a safe fallback any time you want the latest version immediately.
- Shortcuts, connected CLI or provider keys, and saved meetings all persist across updates.
- pluely.com/downloads also has installers for other operating systems — handy when setting up a second machine.
