Auto-Start & Updates

Launch the Sync Agent on boot and keep the app up to date.

Auto-start

Enable Start with Windows/Linux in the Sync Agent settings:

1. The app launches when your system boots
2. Folder monitoring begins automatically (if previously configured)
3. You do not need to manually open the app before racing

Recommended for drivers who race regularly and want fully hands-off uploads.

Auto-updates

The Sync Agent checks GitHub Releases for new versions automatically in the background.

When an update is available:

1. The app notifies you in the window or tray
2. Download and install the new version
3. Restart the app

Update checks share your current app version and OS information with GitHub to determine if a newer release exists. No race data is transmitted during update checks.

Check for updates manually

You do not need to open the main window to check for a new release:

1. Right-click the system tray icon
2. Choose Check for Updates
3. Follow the prompt if a newer version is available

This is useful after seeing a Changelog entry or when support asks you to confirm you are on the latest build.

Manual install

If automatic update install does not run, or you prefer a fresh download:

1. Right-click the tray icon → Check for Updates (to confirm a newer version exists)
2. Go to Dashboard → Sync Agent for the latest download link
3. Or visit GitHub Releases directly
4. Install over the existing version

After updating

• Your folder selections and connection are typically preserved
• If you experience issues after an update, try signing out and reconnecting
• Check the Changelog for release notes
