Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/11736

Am I the only one that becomes crazy on updating Ollama on every release? I need to kill services manually every time.
Is it possible to have a clear auto-update feature in the Ollama app? Like a "Check for update" menu item and/opr the possibility to set auto-update of the app.
Thanks in advance.

If dear ollama' devs ever decide to implement it, please make it off by default. Not all the users are happy that something is getting updated behind their backs (= e.g. breaking something that works due to new bugs).

Yes, OFF by default. But having the possibility to trigger an update from the app is something that every other product have. Please consider it.
