The fsnotify daemon is a launchDaemon component of Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software, which enables read-write access to Windows NTFS-formatted external drives, SSDs, flash drives and other storage devices on macOS. The daemon handles file system notifications and events that allow NTFS volumes to be mounted, unmounted, and monitored seamlessly. Paragon NTFS for Mac is widely used by users who regularly exchange files between Mac and Windows computers, professionals managing cross-platform workflows, and anyone with NTFS-formatted external storage who needs full read-write capability rather than macOS's default read-only access to NTFS volumes.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe fsnotify daemon is a system component of Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software and cannot be updated separately. To ensure it receives Apple Silicon native support, you must update the parent Paragon NTFS for Mac application itself. According to Paragon's support documentation, version 15.8.108 and later officially support both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, and the vendor has confirmed full Apple Silicon compatibility in the latest releases. Download the latest version from the Paragon Software website at paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac and reinstall the application using the DMG installer. The vendor also offers direct installation assistance through their support portal at paragon-software.zendesk.com. After reinstalling, the fsnotify daemon will automatically be updated to the native Apple Silicon build. Ensure you enable the required kernel extensions in System Settings under Security & Privacy when prompted during installation, which is necessary for the driver to function on Apple Silicon Macs.
