Great news for Setapp users: MarsEdit is now available as part of the lineup of apps. This means that Setapp subscribers can use the app, with all its functionality unlocked, for free.

If you aren’t already a Setapp subscriber, using the link above to sign up will help me. Try it out for free, and if you end up subscribing, I will receive a perpetual commission from Setapp based on your $9.99/month membership fee.

I have been thinking for years that it would be great to offer an alternative subscription pricing version of MarsEdit. I may still pursue that, but offering the app via Setapp seems like a great way to bundle it with several apps that my potential customers may already be using.

FastScripts 2.7.7 is now available for download from the FastScripts home page and on the Mac App Store.

The update also includes another minor bug fix and a tweak to hide file extensions from more types of scripts. This is the complete list of changes:

• Fix a bug that could prevent the menu icon color from adapting to Light/Dark Mode changes
• Fix a visual glitch with the focus ring displayed when editing a keyboard shortcut
• Omit the file extensions for .applescript, .py, .rb, etc files in the script menu

MarsEdit 4.3 is now available from our web site and on the Mac App Store.

First up, this release addresses a number of issues affecting the upload of GIF images. Chief among them: animated GIF images can now be resized without losing animation!
