ollama app currently auto downloads app updates. Many people on MacOS manage applications from homebrew and prefer apps to not auto update. This is also a security concern to some capacity.

Please add an option to disable automatic checking for updates.

We provide a stand-alone Mac executable which does not include the tray application, or auto-update logic which is intended for these types of usecases where you want to manage the upgrade cycle, and how you run the server.

Head over to https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases and in the Assets section, you can download ollama-darwin (stand-alone executable) instead of the Ollama-darwin.zip. The zip file contains the tray app which is intended to be the "easy" mode to run Ollama where it manages the server, and upgrade lifecycle.

It should still be possible to disable automatic updates, even when the systray app is being used.

It's generating a popup that interrupts the user at a completely unpredictable time, as I just discovered while watching a film.
