Mountain overview

Mountain allows you to manage volumes with ease. It allows you to mount, unmount, or eject volumes with only two clicks. Unmount a single volumes or eject all external volumes at once. Unmounted volumes will be spun down and can either be unplugged or reactivated in Mountain without the need to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in.

  • Automatically unmount external volumes when the system goes to sleep and remount them on wake up.
  • Remount recent network shares with a single click or remount them automatically on boot up or wake from sleep.
  • Prevent external volumes from being mounted upon connection.
  • Prevent volumes from being ejected.
  • Identify applications that block volumes from being ejected and quit them right away.
  • Get notified whenever a volume becomes available or an external device can be unplugged safely. A click on the notification will open the volume in Finder.
  • The Mountain menu bar icon will indicate if external volumes are connected or if you are clear to unplug all device cables including network connections.
  • Speed up ejecting and mounting of all external volumes at once using global hotkeys.

There is no longer any support from the author. Can anyone suggest a workaround to have certain drives "unmounted upon connection"? Thanks

Mountain ne fonctionne pas sous Big Sur et le développeur ne répondu plus. À fuir ! Mountain does not work under Big Sur and the developer is unresponsive. To flee !

Mountain was unable to unmount my external drives and resolve what's holding it up. I've been trying to figure that out for more than one year. Have been able to force eject them each time their content disappears in Finder and then remount them.

It has been great but after Catalina, Mountain App can't stop the drives from mounting. Can anyone shine the light on this issue? It might have been the fact that now the APFS drives are internally split into two volumes.
