A shell script that builds polished macOS DMG disk images with customizable backgrounds, icon layouts, and license files. It is a command-line tool installable via Homebrew.
Use cases
- create a fancy dmg installer for my mac app
- build a disk image with a custom background and icon positions
- add an applications drop link to a dmg
- attach a eula license to a dmg
- make an encrypted dmg from a folder
- automate mac app distribution packaging in ci
When to choose
- you distribute macOS apps and want attractive drag-to-Applications DMG installers
- you need a simple scriptable CLI for DMG creation without heavy dependencies
- you want to embed license agreements or encryption in your disk images
When to avoid
- you need cross-platform packaging (this is macOS-only)
- you require a GUI builder for DMG layout
- you need signed/notarized installer packages like pkg rather than DMGs
