Jettison

Jettison is a handy little app for your Mac that helps you safely unplug external drives. If you’ve ever pulled out a drive without unmounting it first, you know it can mess things up, leading to disk failures and lost data. Jettison steps in here to make sure all your connected drives are properly unmounted when you put your Mac to sleep.

Quick Access with Jettison

As soon as you launch Jettison, it drops a small icon in your status bar. This gives you quick access to a menu where you can manually eject all disks, put your Mac to sleep, or even combine the two actions! The cool part? Jettison can also handle some of this automatically, so you don’t have to do everything yourself.

Audio Notifications

If you're wondering whether a task was successful, Jettison has got your back with audio notifications. Plus, if there are certain tasks you do often, the app lets you set up global hotkeys. Just press those keys and get things done faster!

Customize Your Preferences

You can easily tweak how Jettison works through its Preferences window. Want it to eject drives before the system goes to sleep? Or when your Mac restarts? You got it! You can even choose which types of disks—like hard disks, CDs/DVDs, network drives, or SD cards—get handled automatically.

Easy Remounting Options

If you're worried about losing access after waking up from sleep mode, no problem! You can set things up so that drives remount automatically upon wake-up or reload drivers for flash drives (you’ll just need a little helper app for that).

A Must-Have Tool

Overall, Jettison is an awesome tool for anyone who wants to avoid the hassle and risks of manually unmounting external drives. It's all about making sure those drives are safe and sound while keeping your workflow smooth!
