MQTT.fx for macOS

Download the macOS MQTT.fx disk image and test broker connectivity.

macOS setup notes.

Use the DMG when you need MQTT.fx for a legacy runbook or compatibility check. If the app does not fit your current macOS setup, use MQTTX as the modern desktop alternative.

Keep a separate broker profile for plain TCP and TLS connections so you can isolate certificate and port issues quickly.
