Universal (Apple Silicon and Intel), macOS 14 or later. Signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarised by Apple, so it opens in one step.

Tidying addresses

Addresses copied from a marketplace order arrive in whatever state the buyer typed them. Tidy, while editing a contact, splits the address at the commas, puts one element on each line, fixes the upper and lower case, and removes titles, letters after the name, marketplace user names and codes, and a telephone number left on the end.

The original stays on screen beside it, and the app compares the words and numbers before and after and warns you if anything disappeared that it did not mean to remove. It never re-orders lines or moves a postcode — getting the arrangement wrong is the one mistake that can cost a delivery, so it leaves that to you.

Tidy Selected Contacts does the same to a whole selection.

Managing labels

Labels can now be renamed, duplicated and deleted, from the ⋯ button in the LABEL panel and from the File menu. Deleting moves the file to the Trash, so Finder's Put Back undoes it. Renaming or deleting a design that exists as both a .label and a .prlabel file takes the pair together.

Settings where they apply

Templates folder in LABEL, address book in CONTACTS, alignment and quantity in PRINT. The whole-app Settings still gathers everything, so nothing is reachable by only one route.

Copies can be typed instead of clicked, and can reset to 1 after each run if you would rather they did.

Fixed

  • A label saved without a file extension was written correctly and then never listed again — from the user's side, it vanished. It no longer can, and any that went that way can be recovered by adding .label to the file name.
  • When the printer has gone, the app now says so in its own words. macOS reports a missing print queue as a missing file, which sent people looking for something that was never the problem.
  • Newly added contacts and labels are scrolled into view, and a search that would hide what you just saved is cleared.
  • The search boxes in LABEL and CONTACTS were being squeezed at higher interface zoom levels, because their padding did not scale with the text.

Free and fully unlocked until 1 March 2027. After that, printing your existing labels stays free permanently; designing becomes part of a one-off purchase. No subscription, no account, no server, nothing phones anywhere.

Problems are best reported through Settings ▸ Diagnostics ▸ Send, which attaches what is needed to answer them.

PR Labeller 0.9

The first public release.

PR Labeller opens the .label files you already have and prints to a LabelWriter through the driver you already have. Native on both Apple Silicon and Intel — no Rosetta.

Installing

Drag PR Labeller to your Applications folder before opening it. An app run straight from the mounted disk image is put in a read-only holding area by macOS, where it cannot remember your printer, your folders or your window size.

It is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarised by Apple, so it opens in one step. If macOS says it cannot verify the app, the copy you have is damaged or is not one of ours — download it again rather than working around the warning.

What is in it

  • Opens your existing labels and renders them faithfully. All 133 label files used to develop it render pixel-identically to their reference, and saving one back produces a byte-identical file.
  • Prints to the printer and stock sizes your own driver reports, one label or a run of them.
  • Fills in addresses from an address book (.abx) or a CSV, one contact or a list.
  • Creates and edits — text, addresses, pictures, barcodes and shapes, with alignment, snapping, layering and unlimited undo.
  • Any rotation angle, not only right angles.
  • Prints straight — an alignment test and sub-millimetre offsets, because every machine grips the stock slightly differently.

Requirements

macOS 14 or later, Apple Silicon or Intel. A LabelWriter with its driver installed — the same driver you use now. PR Labeller ships no label sizes of its own: it asks your driver what your printer takes.

Free and fully unlocked until 1 March 2027

After that the app does not stop. Printing your existing labels stays free for ever — that is the job this was written to do. Designing and batch printing become part of 1.0 (£9.99, one payment), and everyone who uses the beta gets 1.0 free.

There is no account, no activation and no server.
