ntfsMounter
ntfsMounter is a macOS utility that enables read and write access to NTFS-formatted disk drives and USB volumes on Mac. NTFS is the native file system for Windows, and Macs normally mount such volumes in read-only mode. ntfsMounter sits in the menu bar and allows users to toggle NTFS write support for connected drives without requiring terminal commands or third-party kernel modifications. It is commonly used by professionals and students who need to exchange large files with Windows systems or regularly work with external drives formatted under Windows.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about ntfsMounter in public sources, so we cannot confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. The app may be actively maintained, abandoned, or in limited distribution. Before relying on it beyond macOS 27, contact the developer (Fabien Jakimowicz) directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned or available. If the developer is no longer active or cannot provide a timeline, consider alternatives like Paragon NTFS, Tuxera NTFS, or the open-source MacFUSE plus ntfs-3g, all of which ship native Apple Silicon builds and are actively maintained. Given that Rosetta 2 will be removed in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is important to confirm the status of your chosen NTFS solution soon if you rely on it regularly.
