All the company’s applications offer the same familiar user interface and feature set where applicable, with design tools neatly consolidated into a right-hand sidebar, and easily navigated buttons to switch between three types of design tools. If you own other Chronos software like Greeting Card Shop, getting up to speed with Labelist is a breeze. Successor to the venerable SOHO Labels, this Mac application is also capable of printing envelopes (with or without mail merge), letterhead, directly to optical discs, and a variety of related media formats including CD cases, DVD wraps, and more. Labels and moreĭespite the name, Labelist 10 ($40) does more than just print labels. But I did find one that works well enough to abandon DYMO’s own software, at least for now. As it turns out, the list of Mac alternatives is short, and most aren’t worth the money.
This frustration has led me to consider paying for a better third-party label design application. It’s slow to open with a clunky, barebones user interface, and each major macOS update is accompanied by compatibility issues that take weeks to resolve. I use my trusty LabelWriter Twin Turbo daily to print postage, but when it comes to creating labels for personal or business purposes, using the included Dymo Label software is an exercise in frustration.
