a Mac app.

Apple ID, app-specific password, and Team ID stored securely in macOS Keychain. Never on disk.

Common questions.
Yes. Code signing and notarization require a paid Apple Developer account ($99/year) with a Developer ID Application certificate. You can try the trial without one to test the DMG creation workflow.
Your license activates on up to 3 Macs. If you need more, just reach out.
You receive a license key via email within seconds. Paste it into the app and you're activated instantly. The trial converts to a full license, no re-download needed.
Packara wraps the same Apple-provided tools (codesign, notarytool, stapler, hdiutil) in a GUI. Xcode Command Line Tools must be installed, but you never need to open Terminal.
Packara requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
