Version 3.7 of DropDMG is now available.

DropDMG makes it easy to create a professional disk image for your app. Disk images pack entire folders or disks into a single compressed file, either for transport across the Internet or simply for backup or archival. They are Apple’s preferred format for distributing Mac software and the only archive format whose contents you can directly access in the Mac Finder—no extraction or third-party software required.

Deliver your Mac app on a .dmg file with a software license agreement, a custom volume icon, and a precise icon layout atop a Retina-optimized background picture. Customers can install simply by dragging and dropping the app onto the convenient Applications folder link. Code-sign your .dmg so that macOS knows it can be trusted after download.

This is a free update for owners of DropDMG 3.0 that includes the following enhancements:

• Updated DropDMG’s application icon for macOS Tahoe 26 and the new Liquid Glass design language. It no longer appears in “squircle jail” and now adapts as you change the macOS appearance to use the Dark, Clear, and Tinted icon styles.
• Added images for each menu item when running on macOS Tahoe 26.
• Added support for disk image files in the new Apple Sparse Image Format (ASIF):
  • Like the old .sparseimage format, the .asif format uses a single file and only consumes disk space based on the amount of data stored (rather than the disk image’s logical capacity). It is much faster than either the .sparseimage or .sparsebundle format but requires macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
  • Most of DropDMG’s feature set works with ASIF disk images. You can:
    • Create blank ASIF disk images, using the APFS file system, and specify the capacity and volume name.
    • Create new ASIF images from folders, packages, and individual files, with various options for specifying the destination, filename, and volume name.
    • Create new ASIF device images from attached disks.
    • Enable 256-bit AES encryption. When creating a batch of encrypted ASIF images, you only have to enter the passphrase once. Or you can have DropDMG read it from a pre-existing keychain entry.
    • Convert .dmg, .sparseimage, and .sparsebundle disk images to the ASIF format. When doing this, DropDMG can add a license agreement, code signing, or optimize the image for restores, if the destination format supports that. This works even if both the source and destination images are encrypted, whether or not the passphrases are the same.
    • Convert archives (.zip, .tar, .tar.bz2, etc.) to the ASIF format.
    • Convert ASIF disk images to other disk image (.dmg and .sparsebundle) or archive (.zip, .tar, .tar.bz2, etc.) formats.
    • Convert an ASIF disk image to a new ASIF disk image (e.g. to change the encryption).
    • Mount Image… with an ASIF disk image. You can control whether or not the disk image is mounted with ownership information, whether changes are saved to a shadow file, and whether the disk image is mounted on the desktop or at an arbitrary location in the filesystem. If you bulk mount multiple encrypted disk images, you only have to enter the passphrase once if it’s the same for all of them.
    • Change Image Passphrase… for an ASIF disk image.
    • Compact Image… with an ASIF disk image.
    • Get Image Info… for ASIF disk images.
    • Use the dropdmg command-line tool or AppleScript to control or automate DropDMG.
  • Some features do not work with ASIF disk images, due to macOS’s more limited support for them. You cannot:
    • Directly convert ASIF disk images to the .sparseimage, bzip2 .dmg, .cdr, or .iso formats or to a segmented .dmg format. However, this is possible by first converting to a different intermediate format.
    • Choose the less secure 128-AES encryption when creating an ASIF disk image or directly converting one to another format. If you really want to use it with an older format, you can do a two-step conversion.
    • See a determinate progress bar during operations on ASIF disk images.
• Additional updates for macOS Tahoe 26:
  • The Custom volume icon option’s badging has been updated for the new mounted disk image icon’s size and perspective.
  • For apps that have not updated their icon for Liquid Glass, the Custom volume icon option will now use the source app’s original icon to create the badge, rather than the “squircle jail” icon that macOS supplies.
  • Updated the window layouts, e.g for the new button sizes and window corner radius.
  • Updated the documentation and screenshots.
• DropDMG now tries to make sure the window’s path bar is hidden when setting the layout of a mounted disk image.
• Updated the Signing section of the manual.
• Updated the French, Italian, and Chinese localizations.

DropDMG 3.7 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS Tahoe 26. Older DropDMG versions are available for older versions of macOS. In-depth information about DropDMG is available in the manual.

If you enjoy using DropDMG, please take a moment to review it on the Mac App Store, MacUpdate, or Product Hunt or to mention it on Twitter, Mastodon, Instagram, Facebook, or your own site. We’d really appreciate it.

Update (2025-09-17): DropDMG 3.7 has been submitted to the Mac App Store and is awaiting approval from Apple.

Version 2.8.7 of ToothFairy is now available.

ToothFairy streamlines using AirPods and other Bluetooth devices with your Mac. No more digging into menus or Control Center. Your headphones, mouse, and keyboard can get their own icons right in the menu bar, and you can always see at a glance whether they’re connected or disconnected and what the battery level is. Connect or disconnect with a single click or keypress. See the status update and show where your Mac’s audio will play from. ToothFairy can make music and videos sound better by using a higher quality codec for audio output. It can also run scripts when Bluetooth devices connect or disconnect.

This is a free update that includes the following changes:

Version 1.9.18 of EagleFiler is now available.

EagleFiler makes organizing and managing your information easy. It lets you archive and search Web pages, mail, PDF files, images, audio/video files, and more. Edit RTF, plain text, and Markdown files using a familiar three-pane interface. Organize files of all types into folders and annotate them with tags and notes, or leave everything in one folder and pin-point the information you need using the live search or a smart folder. Since EagleFiler stores its library in Finder format, you can use it in concert with the other tools in your Mac ecosystem.

EagleFiler is a digital filing cabinet, an information organizer, and a note-taking app. You can use it to archive and search large amounts of e-mail, write a journal, track the files for a project, save local copies of Web pages, store financial statements, run a paperless office, or plan a trip. Use EagleFiler as a bookmark manager, a recipe database, a snippet collector, a document manager, or an issue tracker. Organize scientific research papers or legal records, assemble a scrapbook, or keep a notebook for a college course. It’s the most flexible tool on your Mac.

This is a free update that includes the following enhancements:

• EagleFiler is now compatible with macOS Tahoe 26. It’s best to update to EagleFiler 1.9.18 before installing Tahoe. Otherwise, EagleFiler may hang at launch when opening a library. (If this hang is preventing you from accessing the Software Update window to update EagleFiler, you can hold down the Shift key during launch to prevent EagleFiler from re-opening any libraries.)
• When running on macOS 26, EagleFiler now breaks the application icon out of “squircle jail” in the Dock, the about window, and elsewhere in the app.
• Text fields now disallow macOS 26’s Security Code AutoFill since it’s not relevant.
• The Merge Message Files command no longer marks the new mailbox record as unread if all the messages were already read.
• If you assign a folder the ef_noindex tag, none of its files or subfolders will be indexed, either. (Previously, only individual files could excluded from indexing.)
• Adjusted the behavior of the Drop Pad so that it can still migrate to the proper space but hopefully doesn’t show up on the wrong display of a multi-display setup.
• Added the Importing Mail From MailMaven section of the manual.
• Updated Firefox bookmarklet instructions to work around an issue where Firefox would clear the page when sending the URL to EagleFiler.
• Updated the following sections of the manual:
  • How can I run optical character recognition (OCR) on my PDFs?
  • Importing Mail From MailMate
  • Importing Mail From Outlook
• Added the OCR With OCRmyPDF script.
• Added the Prefix Creation Date to Filename script.

Connect or disconnect with a single click or keypress. See the status update and show where your Mac’s audio will play from. ToothFairy can make music and videos sound better by using a higher quality codec for audio output. It can also run scripts when Bluetooth devices connect or disconnect.

This is a free update that includes the following changes:

• Improved the Improve sound quality by disabling audio input from device feature. When using multiple Bluetooth headphones/speakers, if you connect a new device, ToothFairy will no longer set the audio input to another device that you told it not to use, even if that device had been manually chosen (by you or another app). Instead, ToothFairy will try to select the built-in microphone or a previous device to ensure the best sound output quality.
• Worked around a macOS bug where a Bluetooth device would connect but a notification was never sent to ToothFairy. This could make the progress indicator in the menu bar keep spinning.
• Worked around a macOS bug where a Bluetooth device would connect but macOS would continue to tell ToothFairy that it was not connected. This could make the icon in the menu bar show the wrong status or keep showing the progress indicator.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when trying to disconnect from a device when the Don’t disconnect when clicking icon or pressing hotkey option was enabled.
• Replaced the battery status label in the Settings window with a help button that leads to more information.
• Improved the following sections of the manual:
  • Improve sound quality by disabling audio input from device
  • Requirements
• Made some changes to prevent ToothFairy from triggering local network privacy prompts.

Version 3.1.3 of SpamSieve is now available.

Save time by adding powerful spam filtering to the e-mail client on your Mac. SpamSieve gives you back your inbox, using Bayesian spam filtering to provide amazing accuracy that’s constantly improving. SpamSieve learns and adapts to your mail, so it’s able to block nearly all the junk—without putting good messages in the Junk mailbox. It’s quick and easy to control SpamSieve from within Apple Mail, Outlook, Airmail, MailMate, GyazMail, MailMaven, Mailsmith, and more.

SpamSieve running on your Mac can keep the spam off your iPhone/iPad, and you can even train SpamSieve from your iOS device. SpamSieve protects your privacy. It does not need access to your mail account login and does not transmit your mail data anywhere. All the processing is done on your Mac.

• SpamSieve is better at detecting whether a server junk filter classified a message as spam (for display in the Log and Corpus windows).
• Clicking a notification to open the message in SpamSieve’s Log window now works when SpamSieve isn’t already running.
• When using the Show number of new good messages in Dock option with the Apple Mail extension and the Check inboxes for new messages not sent to Mail extension option, the number shown in the Dock icon is now accurate even if the same message had been processed twice.
• Improved the efficiency of updating the rule hits statistics, reading settings, and various database operations.
• Improved the following sections of the manual:
  • Show Dock icon
  • Show number of new good messages in Dock
  • Turning Off New Outlook
  • Turning Off the Fastmail Spam Filter

SpamSieve 3.1.1 is a free update for those who have already purchased the SpamSieve 3.0 upgrade. If you’re using SpamSieve 2 and haven’t upgraded yet, the easiest way is to first let SpamSieve install the new version. At launch, it will show the Purchase window, and you can click the Check Upgrade Options button to get the upgrade discount without having to enter your old serial number.

The changes in this version are:

Highlights

• Made various changes to improve SpamSieve’s filtering accuracy.
• When a supported mail client is the frontmost app, the first item of the SpamSieve icon menu, instead of being a static label, now opens the setup instructions for that mail client.
• The training commands in the Message menu in the SpamSieve icon menu now work when SpamSieve is not the frontmost app. The original thinking was to disable these, because people would use the hotkeys or the more convenient top-level menu commands for this purpose, but it turns out that many people prefer to use the Message submenu.
• Working with large selections in the Corpus, Allowlist, Blocklist, and Log windows is much faster and uses less memory. Now SpamSieve waits to load the selected items until you actually do something with them, and then it does so in batches to that they don’t all need to be stored in memory at the same time.

Apple Mail

• The Filter Messages hotkey (Command-Control-L) was originally intended for use with the Mail extension, but it is now also available when using the Mail plug-in setup.
• Fixed a bug where, if you went on vacation and didn’t launch Mail for a week, when you got back to lots of new messages SpamSieve might not filter some of them because it would see them as old.
• Worked around a Mail bug where a message might disappear when trained as good instead of moving to the inbox. (If messages ever disappear, you can recover them from the Log window.)
• When training a message as good and moving it to the inbox, if multiple mail accounts have the same e-mail address that matches the message, SpamSieve now prefers the inbox of the account that the message is already in.
• SpamSieve now reports an error if multiple Mail accounts have the same name, as that can prevent filtering from working.
• If SpamSieve can’t find an account’s Junk mailbox when training a message as spam, it now reports an error that shows the name of the problematic account.

General

• You can now close the Settings window by pressing the Esc key.
• When you click an esoteric preferences link to enable or disable debug logging, the change now takes effect immediately, without having to restart SpamSieve.
• Worked around several macOS bugs that could cause crashes when trying to access the Contacts database.
• Diagnostic report files are much smaller, as they no longer include excerpts from the verbose system console log, only from SpamSieve’s own log files.
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur when updating the log after training a message.
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur when reporting an error about a database that couldn’t be saved.
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur because the Bayesian classifier’s internal state was invalid.

Documentation

• SpamSieve 3.1 introduced a workaround of opening help pages in the user’s Web browser because the system help viewer doesn’t work properly on macOS 15.
  • Fixed a bug where help pages could open in a text editor instead of in your browser if you’d changed the default opener for .html files.
  • You can now hold down the Option key when clicking a help link to switch between using a Web browser and using the help viewer, e.g. if you prefer the non-default behavior for your version of macOS or to test whether the help viewer is working properly.
• Fixed the PowerMail help links in the Settings ‣ Other Clients window.
• Improved the following sections of the manual:
  • Correct All Mistakes
  • Filter spam messages in other mailboxes
  • Log
  • Prune full message data in log
  • Setting Up Airmail
  • Turning Off the Yahoo Mail Spam Filter
  • Why do good messages keep going to the Junk or Spam mailbox?
  • Why do good messages move to the wrong inbox when trained in Apple Mail?
  • Why is SpamSieve not catching my spam?

SpamSieve 3.1.1 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS 15 and requires an e-mail client. Older SpamSieve versions are available for older versions of macOS. In-depth information about SpamSieve is available in the manual.
