Version 3.7.1 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 the Dock icon didn’t adapt to different themes on macOS Tahoe 26.
• Fixed a regression where creating a disk image with a layout could affect the visibility of the path bar in subsequent non-DropDMG Finder windows.
• Improved the layout of the Software Update… sheet on macOS Tahoe 26.
• Worked around a Help Viewer bug on macOS 14.
• Fixed the icon margins in the legacy ICNS file and documentation.
• Added an Apple events usage description for the dropdmg command-line tool.
• Made various updates for Xcode 26.

DropDMG 3.7.1 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 (2025-11-11): DropDMG 3.7.1 has been submitted to the Mac App Store and is awaiting approval from Apple.

Version 2.8.8 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:

• Due to a bug in macOS Tahoe 26, sometimes a Blueooth device will be correctly paired with the Mac but not shown in the Bluetooth selector dialog when you try to add the device in ToothFairy. If that happens, go to System Settings ‣ Bluetooth and click the i button next to your device. Then click Forget This Device… and then Forget Device. Then re-pair the Bluetooth device with your Mac. Now it should show up in the Bluetooth selector dialog in ToothFairy. The dialog now includes some text explaining this.
• Removed an unused icon file.

ToothFairy 2.8.8 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS Tahoe 26 and requires a Bluetooth device. In-depth information about ToothFairy is available in the manual.

Version 3.2.1 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, MailMaven, GyazMail, 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 3.2.1 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:

Microsoft Outlook

• As previously mentioned, Microsoft will be temporarily removing Outlook’s support for AppleScript (and, thus, SpamSieve) on November 1. It is scheduled to return in December. In the interim, SpamSieve can continue to filter your mail if you set up your mail accounts and SpamSieve in Apple Mail. This will also keep the spam out of your inbox in Outlook, and if you enable the Train messages in TrainSpam and TrainGood setting, you can still train SpamSieve from within Outlook. There’s more information about all of this in the End of Support for Legacy Outlook section of the manual.

Apple Mail

• Worked around a bug in macOS Tahoe 26, affecting some customers with POP accounts, that could cause hangs or prevent messages from moving to the Junk mailbox.
• Updated the Train messages in TrainSpam and TrainGood section of the manual.
• Fixed a bug where remote training would log (harmless) errors for POP accounts.
• The Mail extension will now retry if it gets a timeout error communicating with SpamSieve.
• Improved the Mail extension’s error reporting.
• Worked around a macOS bug that could cause a hang when logging Mail-related errors.
• SpamSieve is better at finding the inbox when running in Spanish.

macOS Tahoe 26

• Worked around a change where macOS would keep trying to re-add the SpamSieve icon to the menu bar even if you’d turned the Show menu bar icon feature off.
• Fixed a bug where the Dock icon didn’t adapt to different themes.
• Worked around a macOS bug that could cause a crash at launch.
• Improved the layout of the Software Update… sheet.

General

• The status colors for the menu bar icon when training and filtering now use the same colors as SpamSieve’s Dock icon and Apple Mail.
• Worked around a Help Viewer bug on macOS 14.
• Tried to work around a crash updating the Statistics window if the database is damaged.
• The diagnostic report shows additional information about fragmentation of SpamSieve’s database files and the Apple Mail Junk mailbox configuration.
• Fixed the icon margins in the legacy ICNS file and documentation.
• Updated the Swedish localization.

Version 1.9.19 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:

• The capture key now works with DEVONthink 4.
• The share extension can now import images with no associated file, e.g. from the Quick Look preview window after taking a screenshot.
• Fixed a bug where tag searches with negative conditions sometimes didn’t find any matches when Match Partial Words was unchecked.
• Worked around a Help Viewer bug on macOS 14.
• Updated the documentation for macOS Tahoe 26.

EagleFiler 1.9.19 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS Tahoe 26. Older EagleFiler versions are available for older versions of macOS. In-depth information about EagleFiler is available in the manual.

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

• SpamSieve 3.1.3 was already compatible with macOS Tahoe 26, but with version 3.2 we’ve made further updates and optimizations for it. Although the Tahoe beta went smoothly, and the Tahoe release worked as expected for most of the SpamSieve customers who have already updated, a very small percentage of users (all of them using POP mail accounts) have reported their spam filtering being interrupted due to errors from Apple Mail. (On these Macs, when SpamSieve asks Mail to move a message to the Junk mailbox, it doesn’t do so.) These seem to be isolated cases, but we wanted to make you aware of this situation as you decide when to update to Tahoe. As we investigate further, we’ll make a bug report to Apple, try to develop a workaround, and post updated information on the support page.
• Made various changes to improve SpamSieve’s filtering accuracy.
• There is now built-in support for training SpamSieve while away from your Mac or when using a Mac e-mail client that SpamSieve doesn’t integrate with directly. If you go to the Settings ‣ Apple Mail ‣ Training window and select Train messages in TrainSpam and TrainGood, you can train SpamSieve from an iPhone (or other device) by moving messages into the special TrainSpam or TrainGood mailbox. Simply deleting spam messages to get them out of your inbox would lead SpamSieve to think they were good, reducing its filtering accuracy. We used to recommend training spam messages in the inbox when you got back to your Mac. Now you can train SpamSieve remotely, which immediately gets the spams out of view and improves SpamSieve’s filtering of future messages. There’s more information about how this works in the Drone Setup and Remote Training section of the manual. If you were using the old remote training AppleScript and rule, you can uninstall them as described in the Legacy AppleScript section.
• On November 1, 2025, Microsoft will remove AppleScript support from Outlook. Until this is restored (currently scheduled for December 2025), SpamSieve will not be able to directly work with Outlook. However, you will still be able to use SpamSieve to filter your mail (via Apple Mail) and you’ll still be able to train it from Outlook (via the remote training mentioned above). There’s a lot more information about this in the End of Support for Legacy Outlook section of the manual. The Settings ‣ Outlook ‣ Setup window now shows a link to this help page if Outlook filtering is enabled.

macOS Tahoe 26

• Updated SpamSieve’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.
• The top-left corner of SpamSieve’s Dock icon used to change to show the current training or filtering status. Badging the icon in this way doesn’t work properly with the new Liquid Glass appearance themes, so SpamSieve now shows these status changes as glyphs using the system standard red badge in the top-right corner of the Dock icon. (These will only be shown if System Settings ‣ Notification ‣ SpamSieve ‣ Badge application icon is checked.)
• Added images for each menu item.
• Updated the window toolbar appearance.
• The Uncertain spam messages and Spam-catching strategy sliders now show their neutral values and have adjusted tint prominence.
• Text fields now disallow Security Code AutoFill since it’s not relevant.

Corpus, Blocklist, Allowlist, and Log

• Selecting or deleting large numbers of rules or log entries is faster and uses much less memory.
• The Corpus and Log windows now show the message’s From address in addition to the sender’s name. This should make it easier to tell at a glance which messages are spam.
• Dates shown in the Corpus, Blocklist, Allowlist, and Log windows now have tooltips to show the full day of the week and time. The From and Subject columns also have tooltips in case there isn’t enough space to fit the whole text.
• Auto-training entries in the Log now show why the message was originally predicted the way it was.
• Improved the sizing and toolbar overflow behavior of search fields throughout the app.
• Improved the description of rule changes when copying from the Log window to the clipboard.
• Fixed a bug where a rule matching the sender’s name might not match a message if the name used an Asian character that had a different Unicode width.
• SpamSieve reports more error information when there’s a problem opening a database file.

Settings

• Added the Where is SpamSieve’s menu bar icon? section to the manual and a link from the Settings ‣ Advanced window.
• The Quit when mail client quits feature now works with MailMaven.
• Made a change to try to prevent the Settings window from opening as a result of two processes launching SpamSieve at the same time.

Apple Mail

• When you uninstall SpamSieve’s Mail plug-in, it no longer auto-quits as a result of Mail quitting.
• Added a workaround to prevent reprocessing messages if Mail incorrectly reported their metadata.
• Improved the error reporting when Mail is bogged down and SpamSieve is trying to read the list of inboxes.
• The Apple Mail - Rescue Good Messages script tries to work around a Mail bug that could lead to messages being moved to the trash but still marked as unread.

Documentation

• Updated the documentation and screenshots for macOS Tahoe 26.
• Improved the following sections of the manual:
  • Does SpamSieve stop Web bugs?
  • If Apple Mail Is Running Slowly
  • Mark it as read
  • Requirements
  • Setting Up a MailMate Drone
  • Setting Up Outlook (Large Inboxes)
  • Setting Up Outlook
  • Show menu bar icon
  • Turning Off New Outlook
  • Why is SpamSieve not catching my spam?

General

• Updated the Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish localizations.
• Worked around some Swift Concurrency changes in Xcode 26.
• Work around a bug in Xcode 26 that could cause a crash at launch on macOS 12 when running on an Intel Mac.
• Work around a bug in Xcode 26 that could cause a crash at launch on macOS 10.13.

AppleScript

• The AppleScript file property of the corpus now returns the URL of the whole corpus package (as has been documented) rather than of the main words database file.

SpamSieve 3.2 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS Tahoe 26 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
