Version 3.3 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, 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 3.3 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. 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:

• Made various changes to improve SpamSieve’s filtering accuracy.
• When searching in the Corpus or Log window, you can now choose the search scope. This enables faster and more targeted searching. Additionally, you can now search by Raw Message Source and by Words, which were not possible before. These can be especially useful in finding messages that were not correctly trained—you can then fix them to improve SpamSieve’s filtering accuracy. The new Searching section of the manual explains the different ways of searching and when they might be useful. Each search field now has a Search Syntax Reference menu item to quickly open this section of the help.
• Optimized’s SpamSieve’s message processing speed.
• Improved SpamSieve’s recognition of headers from server spam filters.
• Added the Fixing Uncorrected Mistakes section of the manual.
• Improved the following sections of the manual:
  • Checking the Training
  • Granting Contacts Access
  • Show number of new good messages in Dock
  • Where is SpamSieve’s menu bar icon?
• Searching by message identifier now works when there’s extraneous whitespace.
• Improved the error reporting for Apple Mail remote training.
• Added a workaround for App Nap pausing filtering.
• Fixed a crash that could occur during a software update.
• Fixed a bug that could cause SpamSieve to show its Settings window when it was being launched by Apple Mail or Outlook.
• Fixed some crashes that could be caused by regex processing with invalid UTF-8.
• Fixed a bug where recent searches were not shown in the menu until after the first search.
• We need help updating SpamSieve’s Japanese localization. If you’re interested, please contact spamsieve@c-command.com.

SpamSieve 3.3 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 1.9.20 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:

• Worked around a change in the forthcoming macOS 26.4 that caused EagleFiler to crash at launch. If you’ve updated to macOS 26.4 before updating EagleFiler, you won’t be able to launch EagleFiler to use its auto-update feature, but you can download and install the update manually as described in the Updating From a Previous Version section of the manual.
• When launching EagleFiler on macOS 26.4 or later, macOS may show a “Support Ending for Intel-based Apps” notification. Currently, EagleFiler relies on Rosetta 2, which Apple has committed to supporting until macOS 28 in fall 2027. EagleFiler’s indexer has been ARM-native for a long time. The rest of the app relies on some third-party Intel-based libraries that will not be ported. We’ve been working on removing these dependencies and rewriting the app in Swift. This is a big project, but it should provide many advantages, both in performance and in a newer architecture that can serve as a foundation for many years to come. We expect to finish this and have EagleFiler running fully natively on Apple silicon before macOS 28 is released.
• Added the Import From Paperless script. This lets you import files from Mariner Software’s Paperless app (formerly called ReceiptWallet), which has been discontinued. The categories, collections, and other metadata will be translated to folders, tags, and notes in EagleFiler.
• When importing from Evernote, EagleFiler is better at handling attached files that have no filename extension and notes that contain an attached file but only whitespace for the note text.
• The capture key now works with the Apple Creator Studio versions of Keynote, Numbers, and Pages.
• Added the Append Current Date to Filename and Append Prior Month Date to Filename scripts.
• The Keywords header of e-mail messages is now indexed for searching.
• You can now change the name of a tag via AppleScript.
• Deleting a tag now deletes its child tags instead of just changing their parents.
• Added the Differing Message Counts Importing From Apple Mail section of the manual.
• Updated the following sections of the manual:
  • Applications That Support Capture
  • How can I rebuild a library?
  • Import Bookmarks…
  • Importing Mail From Apple Mail
  • Importing Mail from MailMaven
  • Merge Mailboxes/Message Files
• Updated the Remove Duplicate Messages script to fix a problem where it could time out if EagleFiler was already very busy with other tasks.
• Worked around an issue with macOS Tahoe 26 where windows would still receive mouse clicks after they were closed, preventing them from going through to the app below EagleFiler.
• Worked around a macOS bug that could cause a crash when viewing a Web archive on a Mac with a Touch Bar.
• Made some changes to try to prevent a crash when displaying a table cell.
• Fixed an internal error that could occur when checking whether a record needed to be indexed.
• Fixed a bug where audio or video files could be left open after closing a library (thus preventing the volume from being ejected).
• Fixed an error that could occur when launching a second copy of EagleFiler at the same time.
• Fixed a regression where the diagnostic report didn’t include the error log.
• Updated to version 1.6.3 of the SkimNotes framework.

EagleFiler 1.9.20 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.

If you enjoy using EagleFiler, 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.

Update (2026-03-16): EagleFiler 1.9.20 has been submitted to the Mac App Store and is awaiting approval from Apple.

Update (2026-03-23): EagleFiler 1.9.20 is now available from the Mac App Store.

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:

• Made various changes to improve SpamSieve’s filtering accuracy.
• Microsoft has extended support for Legacy Outlook for another year, so SpamSieve no longer warns about the transition to New Outlook in the Settings ‣ Outlook ‣ Setup window. The End of Support for Legacy Outlook and Turning Off New Outlook sections of the manual have been updated accordingly.
• When SpamSieve classifies a message using an allowlist or blocklist rule, the Log window now shows when that rule was created and whether it was created by the user or by SpamSieve’s auto training.
• A small percentage of customers using macOS Tahoe 26 with an IMAP account are seeing slow or non-functional training in Apple Mail. The Slow Apple Mail Training section of the manual discusses how you can enable an experimental workaround for this if it’s affecting you.
• Made further changes to work around an issue with macOS Tahoe 26 where it 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.
• Rewrote the If Apple Mail Is Running Slowly section of the manual.
• Reduced the Swift bridging overhead when parsing message address lists.
• Fixed a bug where SpamSieve could hang when processing a message with a malformed address header.
• Added a guardrail so that any future such headers will cause a timeout error instead of a hang.
• Worked around a problem where macOS would not report to SpamSieve that Apple Mail or Microsoft Outlook was the frontmost app, so SpamSieve did not enable the training commands for those mail clients.
• Worked around an AppleScript bug in macOS 10.14 that could cause a crash.
• Removed some now-unused icon badging code so that SpamSieve will launch faster.
• Fixed some threading bugs with undoing changes to rules.
• Fixed a hang when processing a message with malformed HTML.
• If an error -1751 occurs when training a message in Apple Mail, SpamSieve will now recommend granting Full Disk Access to prevent that.
• Added some debug logging to investigate cases where the Settings window is being shown inappropriately.
• Added an experimental setting to opt into using Swift Regex intead of ICU for matching allowlist and blocklist rules. In some cases, macOS will do this automatically, but this setting can be useful to get better performance or in case a particular pattern triggers a problem with the ICU engine. It will also allow testing to detect further Swift Regex bugs before an eventual full switchover. You can switch SpamSieve to use Swift Regex by clicking here or go back to ICU by clicking here. Prior to macOS 14.4, SpamSieve will always use ICU due to bugs in Swift Regex that can cause hangs.
• Improved the performance of capturing stack trace information for errors.
• Improved the Mail extension’s error logging.

SpamSieve 3.2.2 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 3.7.1 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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

• Updated ToothFairy’s application icon for macOS 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.
• Updated the documentation and screenshots for macOS 26.
• Made various code updates to support Xcode 26 and macOS 26.

ToothFairy 2.8.7 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS Tahoe 26 and requires a Bluetooth device. In-depth information about ToothFairy is available in the manual.
