About:
Fuse-T is a modern, kext-less implementation of the FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) interface for macOS. It leverages the newer Apple File System (APFS) and user-space architecture to provide stable and secure filesystem extensions without requiring kernel extensions. This approach ensures better compatibility with future macOS versions and enhanced system security.

Key Features:

Kext-less architecture for enhanced stability and security
Native APFS support for high performance
Compatibility with standard FUSE APIs
Supports macOS 10.15 and newer

Use Cases:

Mounting network shares or cloud storage services as local filesystems
Running Linux-based filesystems like ext4 or SSHFS on macOS
Developing and testing custom filesystems in user space

Alternatives:

macFUSE – The traditional, kernel-extension based FUSE implementation. macFUSE is more established but requires kernel extension permissions, which are being phased out by Apple.
