About:
Automounterhelper is a companion utility for the AutoMounter application, designed to provide granular control over mount points. It enables users to specify custom local directories for mounting network shares, ensuring consistent file system organization. This tool enhances AutoMounter's core functionality by bridging the gap between automatic connection and precise file placement.

Key Features:

Maps network shares to specific local mount points
Integrates seamlessly with the AutoMounter app
Ensures persistent and consistent mount locations
Simplifies management of complex network storage setups

Use Cases:

Mounting a remote development server to a fixed path like /Projects/Server
Ensuring a Time Machine backup drive always mounts to the same location
Organizing multiple departmental shares under a unified /Volumes/Shared directory

Alternatives:

native macOS autofs – Automounterhelper provides a GUI-driven approach integrated with AutoMounter, whereas autofs requires manual configuration of map files via the command line.
AppleScript / Folder Actions – Offers a more robust and dedicated solution compared to custom scripts, with built-in handling for connection states and error recovery.
