# Mountly

> Mountly is an open-source, lightweight macOS utility designed for seamless external drive detection, partition management, and write-support mounting for non-native filesystems (NTFS, exFAT, EXT4, APFS, and HFS+).

Mountly provides an elegant Apple-native menu bar and window experience built on Apple DiskArbitration APIs. It operates with zero telemetry, complete privacy isolation, and native Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) plus Intel 64-bit universal binary compatibility.
