+# 🔄 Auto-Update System Setup - Complete!
+
+Your kNotes desktop app now has **full automatic update capabilities**! Here's what has been implemented:
+
+## ✅ What's Been Set Up
+
+### 1. **electron-updater Integration**
+- ✅ Added `electron-updater` dependency
+- ✅ Configured auto-update checking in `main.js`
+- ✅ Added "Check for Updates" menu item
+- ✅ User-friendly update notifications and dialogs
+
+### 2. **GitHub Actions Workflow**
+- ✅ Created `.github/workflows/desktop-release.yml`
+- ✅ Automatically triggers on frontend changes (`src/main/resources/static/**`)
+- ✅ Builds for all platforms: Windows, macOS, and Linux
+- ✅ Publishes to GitHub Releases automatically
+
+### 3. **Configuration Files**
+- ✅ Updated `package.json` with publish settings
+- ✅ Added GitHub as update provider
+- ✅ Version bumped to `1.1.0` for first auto-update release
+
+### 4. **Helper Scripts**
+- ✅ Created `update-frontend.sh` for local testing
+- ✅ Updated README with auto-update documentation
+
+## 🚀 How It Works
+
+### Automatic Workflow:
+1. **You make changes** to frontend files in `src/main/resources/static/`
+2. **Push to main branch** → GitHub Actions detects changes
+3. **Builds desktop apps** for Windows, macOS, and Linux
+4. **Creates GitHub Release** with all platform binaries
+5. **Users get notified** when they open the app
+6. **Updates download** in background automatically
+7. **One-click install** when users are ready
+
+### Manual Testing:
+```bash
+# Update frontend files
+./update-frontend.sh
+
+# Build new version
+npm run build-linux
+
+# Test the app
+./dist/kNotes-1.1.0.AppImage
+```
+
+## 📦 Current Build Status
+
+- **Version**: 1.1.0
+- **AppImage**: `kNotes-1.1.0.AppImage` (104.4 MB)
+- **Auto-updater**: ✅ Enabled and configured
+- **GitHub Integration**: ✅ Ready for releases
+
+## 🔧 Update Process for Users
+
+1. **App starts** → Checks for updates automatically (3 seconds after startup)
+2. **Update found** → Shows notification: "Update available, downloading in background"
+3. **Download complete** → Shows dialog: "Update ready, restart now or later?"
+4. **User restarts** → App updates and relaunches with new version
+
+## 📋 Next Steps
+
+### To Enable Auto-Updates:
+1. **Push this desktop app code** to your GitHub repository
+2. **Make any frontend change** in `src/main/resources/static/`
+3. **Push to main** → First auto-release will be created!
+4. **Share the release** with users
+
+### Repository Settings Needed:
+- Make sure GitHub Actions are enabled
+- Ensure `GITHUB_TOKEN` has release permissions (should be automatic)
+- Repository must be public or have appropriate permissions for releases
+
+## 🎯 Benefits
+
+- ✅ **Zero maintenance** - Updates happen automatically
+- ✅ **Always current** - Desktop app stays in sync with web app
+- ✅ **Cross-platform** - Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
+- ✅ **User-friendly** - Non-disruptive background updates
+- ✅ **Secure** - Uses GitHub's infrastructure and signing
+
+Your desktop app is now fully equipped with professional-grade automatic updating! 🎉
