EasyDMG Simplifies Installing Apps on macOS
Key takeaways
- EasyDMG is a free tool that automates the installation of apps on macOS
- It features a hamster mascot and privacy-focused design
- Users can customize settings to suit their preferences
A new tool, EasyDMG, has been developed to streamline the process of installing software on macOS. The application, which can be downloaded for free, automates the convoluted steps typically required for installing apps from outside the Mac App Store. Users simply need to set EasyDMG as their default application for opening DMG files and it will handle the rest, including mounting virtual disks, verifying applications, and deleting DMG files upon completion.
The tool features a hamster mascot and the slogan ‘Created out of spite’. It does not run in the background or collect user data, making it a privacy-focused solution. Users can also customize settings to disable warnings about apps from unidentified developers, enable automatic Finder opening after installation, and choose whether to launch the app immediately upon installation.
EasyDMG aims to simplify the installation process for macOS users who have found the current method cumbersome.
