OverDrive made this decision in anticipation of Mac’s new OS, expected for release this fall, called Catalina. The macOS Catalina will require all apps to be 64-bit. The OverDrive for Mac app is 32-bit, which will make it incompatible with the upcoming macOS. When we decided to end support for OverDrive for Mac, we failed to appropriately gauge the number of users that would be impacted and how. The OverDrive mobile app is a lot better than it used to be, but I like the versatility that comes with using a third-party app to listen to audiobooks. Note that I’m performing most of these.

OverDrive for Mac is available for macOS versions 10.6 (Snow Leopard) through 10.14 (Mojave). If you're running one of these macOS versions, you can use OverDrive for Mac to download, listen to, and transfer MP3 audiobooks from your library.

OverDrive for Mac and OverDrive MP3 audiobooks are not compatible with macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer. This is because Apple requires all apps in macOS Catalina or newer to be 64-bit, and OverDrive for Mac (which is required for downloading MP3 audiobooks) is 32-bit. If you're running macOS Catalina or newer, these are your audiobook options:

Overdrive
  • Listen to audiobooks in your web browser using your library's website. Once you borrow an audiobook from your library's website, choose the 'Listen now in browser' option.
  • Listen to audiobooks in your web browser using Libby (for public libraries) or Sora (for schools).
  • Install the OverDrive or Libby app (for libraries) or the Sora app (for schools) directly on a compatible portable device and listen to audiobooks through the app.

Hot on the heels of an initial public beta released last week, Alessandro Levi Montalcini has announced the release of USB Overdrive beta 2 for Mac OS X.

USB Overdrive is a universal USB driver. The software recognizes input from USB devices like mice, trackballs, joysticks and gamepads. Support in this beta version is limited to mice and trackballs only, but the rest are coming soon. With USB Overdrive, you can program your input devices to emulate the keyboard, execute complex macros, support control-clicking, scrolling and more.

The developer advised that the final version of USB Overdrive X will be distributed as shareware; users who registered the original version after Mac OS X’s release will be entitled to a free upgrade, and users who registered before then will be entitled to a reduced-cost upgrade.

Changes in USB Overdrive beta 2 include:

  • Added separate Speed and Acceleration settings for greater control over the mouse speed.

    • Neon Overdrive Mac Os Catalina

  • Restored the functionality of the Enabled check box. When the Enable option is unchecked for a given application or for the Global Settings, the Overdrive behaves exactly like the standard Mac OS X mouse driver, including both the mouse speed and the buttons/wheel behavior.
  • Added Middle Click, Fourth Click and Fifth Click to the list of actions that can be performed. This is useful for applications that handle the extra buttons on their own. For such applications, you can either uncheck the Enabled option, or assign Middle Click to the middle button to have the middle button behave as expected.

  • Restored the ability to press modifier keys alone (without typing a keystroke or clicking a button) by checking one of the modifier keys when Do Nothing is selected. This is useful in applications like Timbuktu, where a modifier key alone is used to invoke a command.

  • Fixed a problem where the USBOverdriveHelper was not added to the Login Items, so that the USB Overdrive X application had to be launched manually after every login to enable to Overdrive. This caused many people to report that the Overdrive had no effect whatsoever on their system.
  • Fixed a problem with the Microsoft Wireless Explorer that caused the mouse buttons to be randomly released every 30 seconds or so.

    • USB Overdrive is distributed as shareware. Registration costs US$20.
