Overview

The Basics

Do you need a custom installer or updater? Do you want a metrics system that not only collects data, but provides management tools as well? Install Beat™ helps you deploy, update, and manage your Windows and Mac OS X products. The best part: you don’t have to know anything about programming to end up with exactly what you’re looking for! Just tell us what you need, and we write the code or help you subscribe to our data management platform. It’s that simple.

How It Works

This complete system is made of pre-built installers and updaters. Select the components you need and tell us how you want them to work, what they should look like, etc. You can also gain access to our Metrics data management platform, to which you can link your own software or do the same with ours. No matter what you’re looking for, we handle the technical stuff so you can sit back and enjoy your Install Beat™ components:

  • Custom Installers — Package & deploy your Windows and Mac OS X software with installers built just for you. Get native or custom GUI, wizard-based or silent operation, bundling, and other features you need. Sign up for access to Metrics to track installs, uninstalls, and other important data.
  • Updaters — Release updates & patches, and keep your software’s integrity at its best. Updaters help you stay in sync with your customers using automatic updates, integrity checks, and push notifications. Pair updaters with Metrics to track crucial data related to update activity.
  • Metrics — Gather data about customers who use your products, and then manage your settings to align with your goals. Track metrics related to installs, updates, user locations, new & returning users, and more, and then tailor your settings accordingly. Use the system on any web browser, or take it with you thanks to its responsive, mobile-friendly design.

Custom Installers

Our installers allow you to put your products on the market quickly and easily, and you never have to write a single line of code. Choose the appropriate pre-built installer base, and we’ll perform the custom programming to ensure it meets your requirements. Save countless hours and thousands of dollars on development with Install Beat™:

  • Windows & Mac OS X — Our installers are tailored to you, whether your product runs on Windows (EXE) or Mac OS X (PKG/DMG).
  • Standard or custom GUI — Get a native, HTML-based, or other interface tailored to you. We can even create custom installer window shapes – circles, stars, silhouettes, you name it!
  • Wizard-based or silent — Need a wizard-based installer, or one that runs silently? From simple settings, to deep setup configurations, we’ve got you covered.
  • Bundling — Our installers help you bundle two or more products, whether they’re your own or from a third party. Provide links to additional offers, or have them install automatically with your own products.
  • Lite & full versions — Create a lite installer to retrieve files from a server, or provide all files with a full version.
  • Custom command line parameters — Want specific tasks to run or files to open after certain executable actions? Configure these types of installation settings with custom command line parameters.
  • Installs/uninstalls tracking — See install/uninstall data when you buy access to Metrics.

Updaters

These ready-made components provide more than new version alerts - scheduled tasks, automatic silent updates, and integrity checks are at your disposal. Keep customers in sync with your products, and take the hassle out of releasing new versions, patches, and updates. And if your product files ever become corrupted or lost, rest assured knowing our updaters will automatically correct any issues:

  • Windows & Mac OS X — Get updaters for your Windows or Mac OS X products.
  • Scheduled tasks — Schedule your products to run important tasks at specific intervals.
  • Services — Constantly run updaters to open real-time communication channels.
  • Push notifications — Notify your customers when product updates and new offers become available.
  • Automatic silent updates — Provide automatic updates without disturbing your customers.
  • Integrity checks — Make sure your products are always installed and working correctly.
  • Convenient installation — Get updaters installed by our installer when you buy both components.
  • Updates tracking — Purchase access to Metrics to track crucial data related to update activity.

Metrics

This platform helps you gather data and statistics related to customers who use your products. View information by location and time; see new and returning customer stats; and use the management tools to configure your settings accordingly. Even if you have your own installers or updaters, you can take advantage of this powerful, web-based system. What’s more, you can access the system wherever you go thanks to its responsive, mobile-friendly design:

  • Web-based & responsive — Use the platform on any web browser, even on your mobile device.
  • Product stats — Get real-time data on installs, uninstalls, updates, and daily activity.
  • Filter data — See stats based on user locations, operating systems, new & returning users, time ranges, and campaigns.
  • Manage it all — Configure multiple products, updates, and campaigns as needed.
  • Notifications & offers — Push notifications and offers to users based on your stats.
  • Be the host — Host Metrics on your own servers with flat-rate or subscription-based pricing.
  • Installers & updaters — Connect your installers and updaters, or purchase & customize ours.
