Mountain is a macOS menu bar utility that provides visual feedback by displaying notifications whenever a disk volume is mounted or unmounted.

This tool is particularly useful for confirming successful connections and preventing data loss from improper ejection.

  • Lightweight with minimal system resource usage
Use Cases:
