A Node.js-based CLI tool that generates polished macOS DMG disk images for applications from a simple JSON specification. It supports custom backgrounds, icons, icon layouts, window sizing, various compression formats, and code signing.

Use cases

  • create a dmg installer for my mac app
  • generate beautiful dmg images for osx application
  • package electron app as dmg
  • add background and icon layout to macos disk image
  • code sign a dmg file
  • build mac app installer from command line

When to choose

  • you need to distribute a macOS desktop app as a DMG with custom branding
  • you want scriptable, repeatable DMG creation in a CI pipeline
  • you need control over DMG window layout, compression format, or code signing

When to avoid

  • you target platforms other than macOS, since DMG creation requires macOS tooling
  • you need a GUI-based DMG builder
  • you need actively developed features, as the project is in maintenance mode
