The official and safest source is the Fritzing website:

• Go to fritzing.org/download
• Look for the Mac version – typically available as a .dmg or .zip file.
• As of 2025, the latest stable version supports macOS 11 (Big Sur) and newer, including Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and Intel-based Macs.

Note: Fritzing is no longer free as it was in its early days. You’ll be asked to pay a small fee (usually around €8) or name your own price. This helps fund ongoing development. fritzing download mac
