## Ethos

I make apps that I use regularly and I like high-quality apps.

You can get this for free by downloading the release from GitHub,

or you can support development by buying the app on the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/browsernow/id1633886387?mt=12)

and you get automatic updates.

## Install

1. Find the [latest release](https://github.com/robb-j/BrowserNow/releases)

2. Download and unzip the app

3. Drag it into your Applications folder

4. Double click it to launch

## Release

1. Ensure git is clean

2. Make sure [CHANGELOG.md](/CHANGELOG.md) is up to date

3. Update any documentation if needed

4. Bump the version and build in the xcode project

5. Commit those changes as `X.Y.Z`

6. Tag the commit as `vX.Y.Z`

7. **Product → Archive** then **Distribute app → Developer ID → Upload → ...**

8. Push the commit and tag to GitHub

9. Wait for the app to be notorized

10. Create a release from the tag, attach the notarised app and write the release notes
