Option to Disable Auto-Updating #309

Would like an option to disable auto-update on macOS. Constantly having to ignore a request for admin access as a standard user can be frustrating.

Hmm a normal install of breaktimer should not require admin priveleges to auto-update. What is your setup? Are you maybe running as a user that doesn't have admin rights?

I have it setup for my wife's computer. She's not a local admin, just a standard user, so it prompts for admin right when there is an update. I think I found a temp workaround just chmod -R a-w the cache folder.

Ok, let us know if it works as a workaround!

Can confirm this prevents it from downloading an update and does not prompt for admin rights to install it.

Ok, thanks. Will leave this open because it could also be useful for people who want to refuse an upgrade for some reason (as unrecommended as that is)
