Version 2.8.6 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:

• 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.
• The diagnostic report now includes information about the app’s logs, the crash logs folder, and components that could cause AppleScript errors.

ToothFairy 2.8.6 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS 15 and requires a Bluetooth device. In-depth information about ToothFairy is available in the manual.

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

Version 1.9.17 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:

• Pressing the capture key in the Orion Web browser now supports the same features as other browsers: importing from X/Twitter and capturing the selected text as notes.
• The current library (for capture key purposes) now updates when you minimize a window to the Dock.
• The Fonts panel now shows more sizes of the system font.
• When you open the Fonts panel, EagleFiler now ensures that it’s moved to the active space so that it doesn’t look like nothing happened.
• The Unread and Flagged columns in the records list work better with larger font sizes.
• If you are trying to create a new tag whose name matches the start of another tag’s name but has different case, the auto-completion now keeps the case as you entered it.
• Updated the following sections of the manual:
  • Edit Smart Folder…
  • Export…
  • How can I put my library on my iPhone?
  • Importing Attachments From Apple Mail
  • Merge Mailboxes/Message Files
  • Services
• Capturing from Safari no longer fails with an error if JavaScript is turned off.
• Worked around a macOS bug that could cause a crash when displaying the source URL for an e-mail message.

• Fixed a bug where phrase searches containing ^ might not find anything.
• Fixed a bug where closing or minimizing a library window could unminimize another library.
• Tried to work around a macOS bug that could cause it to incorrectly report the EagleFiler application file as damaged.
• Made some changes to prevent EagleFiler from triggering local network privacy prompts.
• When you click an esoteric preferences link to enable or disable debug logging, the change now takes effect immediately, without having to restart EagleFiler.
• Diagnostic report files are much smaller, as they no longer include excerpts from the verbose system console log, only from EagleFiler’s own log files.

EagleFiler 1.9.17 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS 15. Older EagleFiler versions are available for older versions of macOS. In-depth information about EagleFiler is available in the manual.

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 3.1.3 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.

The changes in this version are:

• Made various changes to improve SpamSieve’s filtering accuracy.
• The new MailMaven e-mail client from SmallCubed is now in public beta, and it includes built-in support for SpamSieve. The SpamSieve manual now includes sections for Setting Up MailMaven and Checking the MailMaven Setup, and these are linked from the Settings ‣ Other Clients window.
• 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

• Fixed a bug where the training toolbar buttons were enabled in the Words tab of the Corpus window.
• Changes to the esoteric preferences from Terminal now take effect right away.

Version 3.6.9 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:

• Fixed a bug where converting a disk image would in some cases fail with an incorrect error about the destination folder being invalid.
• Worked around a bug in macOS 15 where sometimes the system help viewer would not open the right help page. DropDMG will instead open help files in the user’s Web browser.
• Tried to work around a macOS bug that could cause it to incorrectly report the DropDMG application file as damaged.
• Made some changes to prevent DropDMG from triggering local network privacy prompts.
• Improved the following sections of the manual:

Version 3.1.1 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, Mailsmith, and more.

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.

Version 1.9.16 of EagleFiler is now available.

EagleFiler makes organizing and managing your information easy. It lets you archive and search mail, Web pages, PDF files, word processing documents, images, and more. Use it to collect information from a variety of sources. Browse different types of files using a familiar three-pane interface. Organize them 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. 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 snippet manager. You can use it to write a journal, track the files for a project or job, save your favorite Web pages locally, store financial statements, run a paperless office, plan a trip, archive your e-mail correspondence, search mailing list archives, or research a purchase. Use EagleFiler as a bookmark manager, a recipe database, and an issue tracker. Store scientific papers, assemble a scrapbook, or gather notes for a legal case or college course. It’s the most flexible tool on your Mac.

This is a free update that includes the following enhancements:

• Improved the formatting of community notes and quote tweets when importing from X/Twitter.
• Worked around a bug in macOS 15 where sometimes the system help viewer wouldn’t open to the right help page. EagleFiler will instead open help files in the user’s Web browser.

• Fixed a bug where EagleFiler might improperly recognize certain folders as mailboxes when importing.
• EagleFiler no longer triggers the “find devices on local networks” prompt on macOS 15.

• Fixed the broken help button in the Settings window.
• The diagnostic report now includes information about the app’s logs, the crash logs folder, and components that could cause AppleScript errors.

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.
• Previously, the Train as Good and Train as Spam commands in SpamSieve’s Message menu were disabled while you were in the app when there was nothing for them to apply to, i.e. if no messages were selected in the Corpus or Log. To reduce confusion, since some people thought these commands were meant to be used from within Apple Mail or Outlook, they are now always enabled but will open the Train as Good/Spam section of the help when not applicable, as that will direct you to the various ways that you can train SpamSieve from within your mail client.
• If macOS incorrectly reports that SpamSieve is damaged when installing or updating the app, we now have a Download Fixer tool to help.
• SpamSieve no longer triggers the “find devices on local networks” prompt on macOS 15. It never needed that access, anyway. If, for some reason, you still get the local network access prompt, it’s fine to click Don’t Allow.
• SpamSieve is once again localized in Korean.

Blocklist and Allowlist

• If SpamSieve hangs due to a bug in Swift Regex, it is now able to report the problematic pattern and string, so that you can temporarily disable the offending rule and so that we can make a bug report to Apple.
• Added some protections to help prevent rules from malfunctioning if the rules database is damaged.

Log

• When you copy a log entry as text, it now shows more information about the corpus and rule changes.
• If there’s an error reading an inessential part of the log database, SpamSieve will now just log the error instead of preventing you from using the app.

Apple Mail

• If you’re using Proton Mail, we recommend using the Move it to the Trash if the spam score is at least setting to have SpamSieve move all spam messages to the Trash instead of to the Junk mailbox. This will ensure that Proton Mail removes the spam messages from the special All Mail mailbox.
• Fixed a problem where, if you flagged a good message at the same time SpamSieve was filtering it, the flag could be overwritten.
• Worked around a Mail bug where it could lose a message if you were manually refiltering messages that were already in the Junk mailbox.
• Fixed an issue where, if a mail account was reset or Mail’s database was rebuilt, SpamSieve might reprocess old messages if they were still marked as unread.
• Worked around a Mail bug that could cause a modal error to be reported (and block filtering and use of the app) when moving a message on an Exchange server.
• The Select Mailboxes to Filter… sheet now prevents the selection of additional sent and notes mailboxes, as these do not receive new messages that should be filtered.
• Added some diagnostics to help track down a Mail bug that can cause messages to be inappropriately flagged orange when using the Mail extension.
• The diagnostic report now includes additional information for troubleshooting problems with Mail’s database and Mail extensions.

Microsoft Outlook

• When there’s an error processing an Outlook message, SpamSieve now reports the account name and folder, not just the subject of the message.

General

• Updated the Dutch, French, and German localizations.
• Fixed an issue where SpamSieve could get confused if you corrected a mistake but the mail server had changed the message data in between the prediction and the training.
• Tried to work around a macOS bug that could cause it to incorrectly report the SpamSieve application file as damaged.
• The × button in progress views now has an accessibility label.
• When trying to open a database file that’s damaged, SpamSieve will now move it aside (saving it for diagnostic and recovery purposes) and start a fresh database automatically, rather than blocking the app from launching.
• Fixed a problem where database errors caused by the disk being full were not handled properly because macOS was incorrectly reporting the error.
• Removed various code that is no longer used.
• The diagnostic report now includes information about the app’s logs, the crash logs folder, and components that could cause AppleScript errors.
• SpamSieve is now built with Xcode 16 and the macOS 15 SDK.

Documentation

• Worked around a bug in macOS 15 where sometimes the system help viewer wouldn’t open to the right help page. SpamSieve will instead open help files in the user’s Web browser.
• Improved the following sections of the manual:
  • Checking the MailMate Setup
  • Checking the Outlook Setup
  • Correct All Mistakes
  • Hiding Special Gmail Mailboxes From IMAP
  • How can I copy my training data to another machine?
  • How can I rebuild Apple Mail’s database?
  • If Apple Mail Is Running Slowly
  • Move it to the Trash if the spam score is at least
  • Rescuing Good Messages Caught By a Server Filter
  • Setting Up a MailMate Drone
  • Train as Good/Spam

AppleScript

• Optimized the scripting support so that it is now possible to access the entire contents of a large corpus without overwhelming AppleScript, as demonstrated here.
• The training script commands now report an error if you forget to supply the message data.

SpamSieve 3.1 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.

Version 2.8.5 of ToothFairy is now available.

ToothFairy is a Mac menu bar utility that lets you connect AirPods to your Mac with a single click or keypress. It also works with other Bluetooth headphones and with input devices such as mice, keyboards, and game pad controllers. You can see at a glance which devices are connected, as well as their battery levels. ToothFairy can make music and videos sound better by using a higher quality codec for audio output.

• Fixed a bug where sometimes ToothFairy wouldn’t auto-launch at login.
• Improved the following sections of the manual:
  • Run shell script after connecting/disconnecting
  • Sending in a Bluetooth Log

ToothFairy 2.8.5 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS 15 and requires a Bluetooth device. In-depth information about ToothFairy is available in the manual.

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.

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:

• Made various updates for macOS 15 and Xcode 16.
• Worked around a macOS issue that could cause disk image creation to fail with a file permissions error.
• Worked around a macOS issue that could cause Finder to fail to save the view options or icon positions for a layout.
• Improved DropDMG’s error reporting to AppleScripts and to the command-line tool when a disk imaging operation fails.
• If macOS incorrectly reports that DropDMG is damaged when installing or updating the app, we now have a Download Fixer tool to help.
• Added MaxJobs to the esoteric preferences. This makes it possible to control how many operations DropDMG performs simultaneously. Normally, DropDMG will let you queue as many operations as you want and will execute two simultaneously. This balances the desire to quickly finish the first operation while still allowing other operations to complete. For example, encrypting a small document that you want to e-mail would not have to wait until backing up an entire hard drive had finished. You can also set DropDMG to execute only one operation at a time (e.g. to speed things up if you want to queue many operations that use the same slow hard drive) or three or more (e.g. if you are using fast SSD storage and your Mac has lots of processor cores).
• Added LayoutBackgroundFolderName to the esoteric preferences. This makes it possible to customize the name of the invisible folder where DropDMG stores the background picture file.
