Mountain
Mountain is a lightweight utility for macOS that displays notifications whenever you mount or unmount external volumes—such as USB drives, external hard drives, SD cards, or network shares. It sits quietly in the background and alerts you to storage device changes, which is useful for users who frequently connect and disconnect external media and want visual confirmation of these events. The app is particularly valuable for photographers, videographers, and anyone regularly working with external storage who wants to avoid accidentally ejecting drives or missing mount/unmount events.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionMountain appears to be abandoned and no longer actively maintained. Homebrew lists it as unmaintained and deprecated. There is no native Apple Silicon version available. Rather than waiting for an update that may never come, consider using the built-in macOS notification system or the Finder's sidebar, which already alerts you to volume changes. Alternatively, for more advanced volume management and notifications, look into apps like Tot or Disk Utility Pro, though none offer Mountain's specific lightweight notification focus. You may also check your System Preferences > Notifications for volume-related alerts, which may provide the functionality you need without requiring a third-party app.
