Easily access and manage disc images on Mac
DAEMON Tools for Mac, developed by Disc Soft Ltd, is a virtual CD/DVD drive emulator designed for macOS. The free Lite version allows users to mount up to four virtual drives simultaneously and supports a wide range of disc image formats. It provides a straightforward way to access disc images without relying on physical media, making it a practical option for everyday personal use. As a Lite edition, some advanced features available in other versions are not included.
DAEMON Tools for Mac allows users to mount disc image files as virtual drives that function similarly to inserted physical discs. This core feature makes the contents of image files—such as ISO, ISZ, B5T, B6T, BWT, CCD, CDI, CUE, MDS, MDX, NRG, and APE—accessible through macOS Finder and the application’s interface. By supporting a wide range of standard disc image formats, the software offers broad compatibility with commonly used file types.
Virtual disc drive emulation
Mounted virtual drives remove the need to burn image files to physical discs, allowing users to access their contents directly from storage. This can reduce reliance on optical media and may help limit wear on original discs by minimizing repeated handling.
Virtual disc management made simple
DAEMON Tools for Mac offers a more direct way to work with disc image files by removing the need to burn disc images to physical media. Its support for multiple image formats and the ability to mount several virtual drives at the same time creates a flexible virtual disc setup. This can be especially useful for users who manage CD or DVD collections in digital form.
