Download



macOS 10.13 to macOS 14

Disk Jockey 3.4

Disk Jockey runs on the following macOS versions:

It runs natively on Intel and Apple Silicon machines. It supports Dark Mode 🤘. It’s sandboxed and has been notarized by Apple so you know it won’t mess anything up. It works offline, calls no external library and tries its best to not be a resource hog. It’s made mostly of love and coffee.

Note that you will need to move it outside of your Downloads directory (/Applications/ or ~/Applications/ would be good places).
