How it works

Three steps, then use Finder as usual.

Install Mountee, enable its file system extension once, then choose how each NTFS volume mounts.

Enable it once

Allow the file system extension in System Settings.

Security model

Mount read/write

Choose read/write when needed. Dirty or hibernated volumes stay read-only.

Using Mountee
Simple and careful

Windows drives work on your Mac, without changing its security.

Mountee adds NTFS read/write support through Apple's FSKit. It does not require macFUSE, a third-party kernel extension, or reduced macOS security.

Volumes mount read-only by default. Write access is an explicit per-volume choice, and Mountee never formats, repairs, or erases a drive.
