EnvelopeMagic 4+

Good replacement of EasyEnvelopes

I have been looking for a good replacement of EasyEnvelopes to do basically just simple one-off printing labels on envelopes and EnvelopeMagic pretty much covers the need.

I just need:

1. Ability to create a on-off print job on an envelope
2. Don't want to have to manage a list
3. Don't want to have to put an address in Contacts just to print

EnvelopeMagic pretty much fits this bill exactly. It still uses an internal list, but its simple enough that it doesn't require a lot of work to create.

The app isn't really very fancy and there are definitely a number of missing featuers, like basic keyboard shortcuts (say to print), but it is free and it gets the job done.

Exactly what you need to just print envelopes

I have terrible handwriting and even if I didn't, sometimes for the sake of looking professional you just don't want to hand write an address on an envelope. Nor do you want to futz around with the settings in Word or other word processors.

This app meets that need perfectly and is simple and straightforward to use. I was a huge fan of Easy Envelope by Ambrosia Software, and used that app for years in my legal practice. Unfortunately, that app hasn't been updated in years. EnvelopeMagic has been the perfect replacement for my basic addressing needs and I highly recommend.

2022 Manual address entry required; no access to contact list

It prints an envelope address that you type in by hand. It has no feature to access your contact list. That nearly makes it useless software - mainly because the "contact" app has this same print ability and you don't have to manually type in the name and address again.

Another gripe - it does not generate a mailing barcode. Therefore, the post office must manually sort the mail when you drop it in the box.

As the developer pointed out, this software is free. I would gladly pay a decent price for software that would access my contacts database and print with a zipcode barcode.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for trying the app; I’m sorry it doesn’t have the features you need. However it is a free app so it’s hardly fair to suggest you wasted any money on it.
