# Update SpendLess

> Install a newer version and find out what changed.

SpendLess notifies you when a newer version is available. You can also compare your installed version in **Settings → About** with the [website changelog](https://spendlessdaw.app/changelog).

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="macOS">
    Updates are installed **manually** while the app is not Developer ID signed and notarized.

    1. Choose **Download update**, or download the latest macOS installer from the website.
    2. Save your work and quit SpendLess.
    3. Open the new **.dmg**.
    4. Drag SpendLess into **Applications** and replace the previous application.
    5. Reopen SpendLess and check the version.

    If first-launch security appears again, follow [the installation guide](/en/installation). Check Accessibility permission if project detection stops working.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Windows">
    Windows supports automatic app updates. Follow the in-app update prompts and save your work before restarting. If the update fails, download the current Windows installer from the [official website](https://spendlessdaw.app/#download).

## Before a major change

Keep a recent [backup](/en/backups), especially before moving computers or reinstalling. Replacing the app is different from deleting your projects or resetting your app data.

## What's coming next?

**Ableton Live support is planned for later**, with no release date announced. The current focus is making the FL Studio app stable, reliable and easier for more producers to discover. See the [FAQ](/en/faq).
