Mount Keeper

Mount Keeper is a simple utility for your Mac that helps you manage disk mounts right from the System Preferences app. It’s super easy to use and really handy!

What Does Mount Keeper Do?

This little preference pane can spot any disks connected to your computer, like SD cards, USB drives, or external hard drives. Plus, it gives you options on how to mount them—like as normal or just read-only.

Easy Installation Process

You’ll find the installation process straightforward and user-friendly. Once you’ve got it set up, Mount Keeper will show up in your System Preferences app where you can access all its features.

Your Control over Disk Settings

The app comes locked by default, so every time you want to change settings or adjust anything, you'll need to enter your system credentials. Within its easy-to-navigate interface, you can enable or disable the utility, uninstall it if needed, or even set it up to send notifications whenever a disk tries to mount.

Options for Mounting Disks

Now here’s the cool part: when a disk device wants to mount, Mount Keeper gives you three choices: “refuse to mount,” “mount as read-only,” and “ask for choice.” If you go with the “ask for choice” option, just remember that you'll need authentication each time a disk wants access.

Why Choose Mount Keeper?

If you're someone who likes having total control over what external drives or flash disks connect to your Mac, then Mount Keeper is perfect for you! It not only blocks unwanted mounts but also fits perfectly into OS X's System Preferences app without any fuss.
