MountMate

MountMate is a lightweight macOS menu bar utility that lets you mount and unmount external drives with a single click – no Terminal, no Disk Utility, no hassle.

Whether you're dealing with a noisy spinning HDD or want finer control over when your drives are active, MountMate gives you a clean, no-nonsense solution right from your menu bar.

Features:

• View all connected external drives
• See which ones are mounted
• Mount/unmount any drive with a click
• Check available free space
• Runs quietly in the menu bar
• Fully native – no Electron, no dependencies

Why Use MountMate?

macOS automatically mounts drives when they’re plugged in – but gives you no easy way to remount them later unless you use Terminal or Disk Utility. MountMate is perfect for:

• External HDDs you don’t always need
• Drives used only for backup
• Reducing wear and tear or noise
• Improving system responsiveness

Private, Fast, and Safe

MountMate runs entirely offline, using native macOS APIs and command-line tools. It:

• Does not track anything
• Does not require to connect to the internet
• Does not access your files
• Does not require root permissions

Just a clean utility that does one job well.
