Ejectify

Ejectify is a utility for macOS that tackles a specific, common annoyance: the 'Disk Not Ejected Properly' notification. It runs from your Mac's menu bar and automatically handles the safe ejection and re-mounting of external storage devices. When your Mac goes to sleep or the display turns off, Ejectify asks macOS to unmount the drives you've selected. When the Mac wakes up, it tries to mount them again. This process happens in the background, requiring no manual intervention after the initial setup.

The tool gives you control. You can choose which volumes—like USB drives, SD cards, or disk images—it manages. It includes an optional privileged helper for more reliable unmount requests, and its source code is publicly available on GitHub for transparency. Ejectify is designed for situations where a connected drive loses power, such as when it's plugged into a monitor or hub that turns off with the display.

This app is most useful for Mac users who regularly work with external storage and are tired of the nagging system alerts. It's a straightforward solution for anyone whose workflow involves peripherals that can disconnect unexpectedly, helping to prevent potential file corruption and streamline the user experience. It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and requires macOS 14 or later.
