What you get

Give your Mac app a branded installer without juggling separate release tools.

With DMGKit, you can package your Mac app in a DMG that matches your branding, then handle code signing and Apple notarization in the same place. You arrange the installer visually rather than manually positioning files and backgrounds in Finder. You can use it to prepare Swift, Python, Electron, and Tauri apps for distribution.

Once you have a layout you want to keep, you can save its branding and settings as a template for future releases or other apps. That gives you a consistent starting point instead of rebuilding each installer from scratch.

You can also include your Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, or EULA inside the installer. For users who speak different languages, you can edit and manage translated installer text within the same workflow.
