De ontwikkelaars achter Sick Beard hebben build 485 van hun programma uitgebracht. Sick Beard kan in de gaten houden wanneer er nieuwe afleveringen beschikbaar zijn van je favorite tv-serie en of er afleveringen van betere kwaliteit te vinden zijn. Daarnaast kan het enige uniformiteit in de naamgeving aanbrengen en is het mogelijk om afleveringen te downloaden van usenet en in mindere mate via BitTorrent. Het programma wordt vanuit een webbrowser aangestuurd en kan daardoor op elk willekeurig besturingssysteem worden gebruikt. De ontwikkeling bevindt zich nog in een vroeg stadium en het programma wordt dan ook nog als alfa aangeboden. Het changelog van deze release ziet er als volgt uit:
