Question 1

What macOS versions are supported?

Accepted Answer

Verzio requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It's built as a native SwiftUI application using Swift 5.9+ and is optimized for the latest macOS releases.

Question 2

Is Verzio free?

Accepted Answer

Verzio is free to use with up to 10 tracked apps, manual one-click updates, notifications, and support for App Store and Sparkle sources. Pro unlocks unlimited apps, auto-install, bulk updates, Homebrew and Custom source support, AI changelog summaries, and the AI release notes finder.

Question 3

Does Verzio collect my data?

Accepted Answer

No. Verzio has zero telemetry. It only reads application information from your system — no tracking of which apps you have, when you update, or any usage data.

Question 4

How does the AI summary feature work?

Accepted Answer

Verzio uses AI to transform raw changelogs into clear, categorized summaries with sections like Summary, New Features, Improvements, and Fixes. Only the changelog text is sent, never your personal data. Summaries are cached locally and server-side.

Question 5

What is the AI release notes finder?

Accepted Answer

When an app ships generic notes like 'Bug fixes and improvements', Verzio's AI finder automatically searches the web for real release notes using known changelog URLs and common paths. Results are cached locally per app version.

Question 6

Can I exclude certain apps from being managed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Right-click any app and choose 'Ignore' to remove it from update checks. You can restore them anytime from Preferences. You can also exclude entire directories from scanning.

Question 7

Does Verzio auto-update apps without asking?

Accepted Answer

By default, Verzio only notifies you and lets you choose when to install. With Pro, you can enable auto-install during scheduled checks. Schedules are fully configurable: hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly.

Question 8

What update sources does Verzio support?

Accepted Answer

Verzio supports six sources: Homebrew (CLI tools and Cask apps), Mac App Store, Sparkle (feeds used by apps like Firefox and Sketch), GitHub Releases (beta), Google Update (Chromium-based apps), and Custom Sources (Pro — define your own JSON feed URL).

Question 9

What happens if an update breaks something?

Accepted Answer

Verzio keeps a detailed update history log with app name, version changes, date, and source type. The default retention is 30 days, helping you pinpoint which update caused an issue.

Question 10

How do scheduled checks work?

Accepted Answer

Verzio can check for updates automatically on a schedule — hourly, every 4 or 12 hours, daily, weekly, or monthly. Auto-install has its own independent schedule. All scheduling is handled locally.

Question 11

What languages does Verzio support?

Accepted Answer

Verzio is currently available in English and Brazilian Portuguese. The app respects your macOS system language by default.

Question 12

How do I get support?

Accepted Answer
