About:
ConnectMeNow is a macOS menu bar utility designed to simplify the management and connection to network shares. It eliminates the need for manual command-line inputs or navigating Finder by providing a straightforward interface to mount SMB, AFP, NFS, and FTP shares. The tool is particularly valuable for users who frequently access remote servers or shared drives, offering features like automatic reconnection and a centralized list of favorite locations.

Key Features:

Supports SMB, AFP, NFS, and FTP protocols
Automatic reconnection to network shares at startup or wake
Simple menu bar interface for quick access to favorite shares
Customizable mounting options and scripts

Use Cases:

Quickly connecting to various shared folders across different network protocols without using Finder

Alternatives:

macOS Finder – Built-in but lacks automation and centralized management for frequent connections
