Download and install

1. Go to autoprint.email/download on the Mac that will print.
2. Download the .dmg. The page picks the right one for your Mac. If you choose by hand: arm64 for Apple silicon (M1 and newer), x64 for older Intel Macs.
3. Open the .dmg and drag AutoPrintEmail into Applications.
4. Open it from Applications. If macOS asks whether you're sure you want to open an app downloaded from the internet, click Open.

First launch

1. Sign in with your email (we send you a sign-in link), or with Google or Microsoft.
2. Start the free trial, connect your mailbox and pick the printer. The setup guide walks through it.

Keep it running

• Closing the window doesn't stop it. AutoPrintEmail stays in the menu bar. Click its icon to open it, pause printing or quit.
• Start it at login. In the app, open Settings and switch on Start on login.
• Stop the Mac sleeping. A sleeping Mac prints nothing. See Keep Your Mac Awake.

Requirements

macOS 13 Ventura or newer, and a printer that already prints from that Mac. On macOS 12 or older, contact support and we'll point you to the right version.
