When it was time to make a DMG for my browser, I realized that none of the solutions provide a simple and user friendly interface to design DMG files on macOS with support for signing. This free and open source app allows you to design beautiful DMG file backgrounds using a fully Swift implementation of DMG encoding. It supports both GUI and CLI modes.

Do you think the DMG installation method will continue to be a long-term part of the macOS ecosystem, or is it more of a continuation of indie Mac culture?

    macOS AppStore is largely unpopular. Unless Apple changes something (very unlikely), DMG will continue being the main way of intalling apps. The app supports signing the DMG itself, so your users won’t get the Gatekeeper warning.

Does it support apps built with Electron?

    Yes, you can put anything there in fact. Folders, files. The only limit is your creativity
