macOS 26 brings a new Liquid Glass look to the Mac, and we’re proud to announce that the latest version of Direct Mail takes full advantage of the new look and feel. Your message content shines through the new glass toolbars, helpful menubar icons guide your eye to the commands you need, and sidebars come alive with beautiful material that adapts to your environment.
The new update is free for all users. Upgrade today by choosing Direct Mail > Check for Software Update from the menu bar at the top of your screen. Release notes are available here.
Today we released Direct Mail version 7.6, a terrific update that we recommend for all users, but especially those who have updated to macOS 26. You can update by choosing Direct Mail > Check for Software Update from the menu bar at the top of your screen. Customers who downloaded Direct Mail from the Mac App Store should have the update soon, pending Apple’s approval.
What’s in The Update?
You can check out the release notes for details, but highlights include:
Compatibility with macOS 26. If you used Direct Mail with the public beta of macOS Tahoe, you may have experienced app crashes. Version 7.6 addresses those crashes, delivering a stable, reliable experience.
Redesigned Template Browser. We’ve made the thumbnails larger, introduced full-sized Quick Look previews, and organized the templates into the categories. It’s now much easier to find just the right design.
Additional Templates. Over 20 new templates, including seasonal and sales-focused options, are now available. Our template gallery will continue to expand over the coming weeks and months.
What About Liquid Glass?
After updating, you’ll notice that Direct Mail has not yet adopted macOS Tahoe’s Liquid Glass user interface effects. This is coming soon in a future update. The goal of today’s update is to make sure that our users who update to macOS Tahoe have a stable, reliable Direct Mail app, as well as shipping several quality-of-life improvements (and new templates) to all our customers.
Update Today
Version 7.6 is a great update, with stability improvements, an expanded template library, and several quality-of-life improvements. We hope you update (for free) today! Questions? Please contact our customer support team. Stay tuned!

That same feature is now available on the Mac as of macOS 15.4. If you haven’t already, now is an excellent time to review what you need to know about tabs to ensure your emails land in the right place.
