Version 3.6.5 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:

• Made various code modernizations.
• Updated the Create macOS Install Disk prompt and documentation for macOS 13 Ventura.
• Renamed Preferences to Settings for macOS 13.
• DropDMG now requires macOS 10.13 or later.
• Updated the Signing section of the manual.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when type-selecting in a table view.

DropDMG 3.6.5 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS 13. Older DropDMG versions are available for older versions of macOS. In-depth information about DropDMG is available in the manual.
