brew install --cask commandment

• Direct-download installs can use Check for Updates... from the menu bar or Settings
• In-app updates are delivered through Sparkle appcasts with EdDSA signatures
• Homebrew installs can continue updating with brew upgrade --cask commandment

• If Commandment is running but you can't see its menu bar icon (for example due to menu bar overflow/hidden-icon apps), press Option + Shift + D to open Settings directly.
