After setting EasyDMG as your default app for opening DMGs, opening any DMG will automatically:
- Mount the DMG
- Copy the app to /Applications folder
- Open Applications and highlight the new app, ready for you to run it. Or open the app directly
- Unmount the DMG
- Trash the DMG (optional via Settings)
Features
- It's EASY!: Set EasyDMG as your default DMG handler and forget about it.
- It's simple: After setting as your default, the app only runs when opening a DMG. Doesn't take up space in your dock or menubar, it's gone until you need it
- It's fun: Enjoy the hamster progress bar if enabled 🪄
- It's native: Built with Swift for MacOS, it's quick and seamless
- Flexible settings: Choose between progress window, notifications, or silent mode
- Save disk space: Optionally moves DMGs to Trash after successful installation. No more old DMGs sitting in your downloads folder!
- Cautious by default: Designed to make installation easy while staying safe. When ambiguity arises, if EasyDMG can handle it safely (such as retrying passwords or evaluating licenses), it does; otherwise, it gracefully falls back to manual installation.
- Streamlined Security: macOS normally forces you to open Privacy & Security to approve unrecognized apps. EasyDMG handles that check during install — verified apps just open, the rest take one click, and you can disable the prompt entirely in Settings.
- Automatic updates: Built-in Sparkle integration for easy updates
Download the latest version from Github or easydmg.app. Open the DMG and drag to Applications. Enjoy it.. this could be the last time you perform this annoying task!
