Packara

What it does

Packaging a Mac app shouldn't require memorizing five CLI tools. Packara wraps the entire DMG pipeline into a clean three-step UI: select yourapp, configure your layout and signing identity, hit Build. It handles code signing, DMG creation, notarization, and stapling automatically with live log output. Credentials stay in your Keychain, never our servers. Built for indie Mac devs who just want to ship. $9.99 one-time, 7-day free trial.

Build. Sign. Ship.

Create signed, notarized DMGs without the terminal gymnastics. All the tools Apple requires, wrapped in a clean, native UI. Generate a polished drag-to-install DMG with a custom background and layout. No hdiutil commands. Automatically sign with your Developer ID certificate. Eliminates error-prone codesign arguments. Submit to Apple's notary service and staple the ticket in one step. No notarytool wrangling. Apple ID, app-specific password, and Team ID stored securely in macOS Keychain. Never on disk. Configure once. Then sign, notarize, staple, and create a DMG in a single button press. Full build output streams in real-time. Spot signing or notarization errors the moment they happen.…from packara.techfixpro.net

  Packara – Native macOS GUI for signing, notarizing, and stapling DMGsMar 2026 · ▲5

  I kept copying the same shell script between projects every time I needed to ship a Mac app. It wrapped codesign, hdiutil, notarytool, and stapler into one flow. Eventually I turned it into a proper app. Packara runs the full pipeline in sequence with live log output at every stage. Notarization credentials stay in Keychain and are never passed as CLI arguments. There's a 7-day trial, $9.99 one-time after that. Site: https://packara.techfixpro.net

  Hey Hacker News The ones that know me here know that I am a productivity geek. After DockFlow to manage my Dock and ExtraDock, which gives me more space to manage my apps and files, I decided to tackle the macOS big boss: the menu bar. I spend ~40% of my day context-switching between apps — Zoom meetings, Slack channels, Code projects, and Figma designs. My macOS menu bar has too many useless icons I almost never use. So I thought to myself, how can I use this area to improve my workflows? Most solutions (Bartender, Ice) require screen recording permissions, and did not really solve my…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
