Bump

The easy way to release & update indie Mac apps.

An automated pipeline designed to make distributing apps with Sparkle easier to maintain and collaborate on.

Seamless workflow

Create a changelog, upload your new App archive and push it live without leaving the GitHub UI. It's perfect for teams building and releasing together.

Automatic certificate management

Supply Bump with a Sparkle private key and it will take care of creating signatures for updates. Your private key never leaves GitHub’s encrypted secrets store.

Built for Sparkle

Sparkle has become the standard release mechanism for indie Mac developers. Bump has been built from the ground up to be the perfect companion toolchain.

DevOps included

Bump uses Terraform under the hood to take care of provisioning infrastructure. All you need to bring is your own AWS account.
