The release moment

Your app is finished.
The release still needs work.

Direct distribution asks you to do more than export a build. You have to make installation clear, navigate Apple's trust requirements, and send a file you feel good about putting in front of customers.

One focused workspace

From app bundle
to confident download.

DMGKit keeps the release steps visible, connected, and deliberately less terminal-heavy.

  1. 01

    Shape the install

    Build a DMG window that tells customers what to do the moment they open it.

Questions worth answering.

Who is DMGKit for?+

What does DMGKit Inspector do?+

Inspector is a free companion utility for reviewing DMG or package structure and release details before distribution.

Can I use DMGKit with Python, Electron, or Tauri?+

DMGKit is designed for modern macOS app bundles from native and common cross-platform development stacks.
