Resources for direct distribution
Ship Mac releases with fewer unknowns.
Clear, maintained guides for the parts of a release that most often slow down independent Mac developers: signing, notarization, installer design, and verification.
How to notarize a Mac app
A practical path from signing through notarization, stapling, and verification for direct distribution.
Check a macOS DMG before you ship
Understand the signing, notarization, Gatekeeper, hash, and package checks that build release confidence.
Design a macOS DMG installer
Create an installer window that makes the first step of installing your app clear and intentional.
Notarize a Python app for macOS
What to consider when a Python build includes embedded binaries and needs to ship outside the App Store.
Set up certificates and notarization credentials
Prepare the Apple Developer identities and Keychain profile needed for a repeatable release workflow.
Add terms and a EULA to a DMG
Plan the legal documents that accompany a direct Mac download, and know when to seek legal review.
A more repeatable release workflow
Build, sign, notarize, and package in one native workspace.
DMGKit keeps the steps in view so the file you send feels as considered as the app you built.
