SMBMounter for macOS

Download SMBMounter

Automatically mount, reconnect, and manage SMB/WebDAV network drives – directly from your macOS menu bar.
Version 1.4 – developed by Kevin Tobler 🌐 www.kevintobler.ch

🔄 Changelog

🆕 Version 1.x

  • 1.4
    • ✅ Fixed mounted-volume detection for shares whose names are substrings of existing volumes
    • 🔎 Mount status checks now compare remount URL host and share path exactly instead of using substring matching
    • 🧭 Shares with the same name on different servers can now be detected independently
  • 1.3
    • ✅ Fixed mounted-volume detection for share names containing spaces, e.g. Emby Media
    • 🔎 Mount status checks now handle percent-encoded remount URLs such as Emby%20Media
    • 🔐 Improved SMB/WebDAV credential popup handling by allowing longer interactive Finder mount sessions
    • ⚡ Interactive mount sessions now stop early as soon as the share is detected as mounted
  • 1.2
    • 🌐 Added WebDAV support alongside SMB
    • 🔐 WebDAV supports HTTP/HTTPS selection with automatic default ports
    • 🔌 Added configurable WebDAV port field for custom NAS/server setups
    • 🧭 WebDAV host handling supports plain hosts like server.local
    • 🔁 WebDAV connections use the same preflight, mount verification, disconnect, and auto-reconnect flow as SMB
    • 🧰 Improved menu bar icon fallback for menu bar manager compatibility
  • 1.1
    • 🔧 Reworked mount pipeline for higher reliability (clean preflight -> mount -> verify flow)
    • ⏱ Finder mount now runs with hard timeout handling to prevent hanging mount jobs
    • 🧵 Mount attempts are processed sequentially to avoid race conditions between parallel connects
    • 🌐 Improved host resolution with stable SMB reachability checks and Bonjour/local fallback logic
    • 🔁 Added extra retry passes after a failed/disconnected attempt for better wake/reconnect behavior
    • 🛑 Manual disconnect now cancels pending retry/mount flow for that share more consistently
    • 🙈 No more Finder error popups on mount timeout (timeouts are handled silently in-app)
  • 1.0
    • 💾 Auto-mount saved network shares at login
    • 🔁 Auto-Reconnect after connection loss or sleep/wake events
    • 🖥️ Modern SwiftUI menu bar interface with status indicators
    • 🧭 Protocol support: SMB
    • ⚙️ Secure Keychain storage for credentials

🚀 Features

  • 🧠 Auto-Reconnect on network loss or after system sleep
  • 🔒 Keychain Integration – credentials are stored securely
  • 🌐 SMB + WebDAV Support – mount classic SMB shares and WebDAV targets
  • 🔐 HTTP/HTTPS WebDAV Options – choose scheme and custom port per connection
  • 💡 Status Monitoring – shows mount state in the menu bar
  • 💾 Auto-Mount at Login – keep all shares ready automatically
  • 🧩 SwiftUI Interface optimized for macOS Sonoma 14.6+
  • 🌙 Sleep/Wake Detection for stable mounts
