  • Fixed a bug in macOS 12 where Mounty is left in inconsistent state when re-mount fails due to NTFS filesystem marked as "dirty" and needs cleanup by chkdsk on Windows
  • Mounty is still operating with NSTask workaround on macOS 12, at least there was an update on my bug report that it might be fixed in future OS update
  • If you are running macOS Big Sur or earlier there is no need to update to current version

New in Mounty for NTFS 1.13 (Dec 20, 2021)

  • Added compatibility with macOS 12 "Monterey"
  • Apple has changed the entire mount process in Monterey from the previous kernel based architecture toward one that runs primarily in user space
  • Now the "mount_lifs" command is triggering the mount but custom flags like "read/write" are now ignored which leads into a mount failure
  • I have filed a bug report to Apple, hope that this will be solved sooner or later
  • As a workaround, I have switched to NSTask API but now you need to input credentials for elevating privileges, sorry for inconvenience. Also, the mount point has changed from system mount point "/Volumes" to a user-owned hidden mount point in user's home directory "~/.mounty" for that reason
  • Once Apple will provide a fix, I will switch back to DiskArbitration framework
  • If you are running macOS Big Sur or earlier there is no need to update to current version

New in Mounty for NTFS 1.12 (Feb 8, 2021)

  • When macOS appearance switched between light and dark, the status icon was not updated accordingly, this is fixed now
  • The dark appearance icons are dimmed a bit now
  • Added tolerance to volume kind label if its not exactly written as "ntfs" but contains the "ntfs" string

New in Mounty for NTFS 1.11 (Jan 25, 2021)

  • New icons for dark appearance
  • Compiled as universal binary including both x86_64 and arm64 architectures to run natively on Intel and Apple Silicon
