Update Recursift

How endpoint and console updates arrive today, how to verify them, and the rollback stance.

Reviewed September 27, 2026 · Current implementation

1. Endpoint updates

The Recursift menu bar app checks for updates automatically every six hours, and on demand from Check for Updates…. It shows what changed and the person at the Mac chooses when to install. Updates are signed, and keep the endpoint's enrollment, identity, settings and local history. If files an update needs are missing, the updater directs you to the full installer at https://updates.recursift.app/download/mac. Release notes are at https://updates.recursift.app/release-notes.html.

2. Verify an update

Terminal
/Applications/Recursift/recursift-agent version
RECURSIFT_AGENT_HOME="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Recursift/native-agent" /Applications/Recursift/recursift-agent status
launchctl print "gui/$(id -u)/com.recursift.agent" | grep -E "state|pid"

Success shows the new version, the same agent_id as before, and the service running. The console's Agents page shows the new version after the next heartbeat.

3. Rollback

Recursift moves forward only. Local evidence stores are upgraded in place, and older agents may refuse the upgraded stores. If an update causes a problem, leave the endpoint installed, collect the details in Support and escalation, and write to hello@recursift.com.

4. Console and API updates

Recursift operates the console at recursift.app and the Query API and MCP service, and updates them without action on your part.
