# Check for Update on Launch

Controls whether Halloy will check the Halloy repository on launch for a new version of Halloy.  When a new version is found a dot indicator will appear on the user menu button and a menu item to open the release webpage will be added to the user menu.

This can be useful if you would rather rely on a package manager.
