MontaMac — Remote drives. Native on your Mac.

MontaMac

Mount remote storage directly in Finder.

A native, open-source macOS app for turning SFTP, FTP and WebDAV storage into reusable Finder drives—without rebuilding long terminal commands every time.

Latest release macOS 15+ Swift 6 Tests MIT license

A star helps other Mac users discover the project.

Why MontaMac?

Remote storage should feel like part of your Mac. MontaMac gives rclone and FUSE-T a focused native interface, stores credentials in macOS Keychain and brings your remote folders directly into Finder.

  • One-click mounting — recall a saved drive instead of rebuilding commands.
  • Finder-native workflow — open the exact mounted folder automatically.
  • Profiles that scale — search, group, favorite and filter your connections.
  • Security by default — Keychain credentials, private local files and redacted logs.
  • Useful visibility — dashboard, activity history, statistics and diagnostics.
  • Live operations — transfer speed, progress, ETA, cache use and recovery status.
  • Resilient mounts — health checks and bounded automatic reconnection.
  • Four languages — Italian, English, French and Spanish throughout the app.

MontaMac vs. a manual mount

Manual command-line workflow MontaMac workflow
Re-enter flags, remote paths and mount locations Save a reusable profile once
Keep credentials and config handling in mind Store passwords in Keychain automatically
Inspect processes and paths when something fails Read status, logs and diagnostics in one place
Repeat the setup for every remote Search, favorite and mount profiles from one window

MontaMac does not replace rclone—it makes a focused remote-drive workflow accessible through a native Mac app.

Quick start

  1. Download MontaMac-2.2.0.pkg and its checksum from the latest release.

  2. Verify the package in Terminal:

    shasum -a 256 -c MontaMac-2.2.0.pkg.sha256
  3. Install MontaMac, open it from Applications and follow the guided dependency check.

Important

Official 2.2.0 GitHub artifacts are built by the signed release workflow. A package built locally without Culture Digitali's Apple credentials is ad-hoc signed and not notarized.

Requirements

MontaMac checks these requirements and offers an installation command only after confirmation.

Security and privacy

  • Passwords never enter profile JSON files.
  • Credentials are available only while the user session is unlocked.
  • Each profile receives private rclone configuration and VFS cache locations.
  • Sensitive rclone output is redacted from application logs.
  • Dangerous system mount paths are rejected.
  • FTP is supported for compatibility but does not encrypt credentials or data; prefer SFTP or WebDAV HTTPS.

Please report vulnerabilities privately according to SECURITY.md. Never post credentials, private hosts or production logs in a public issue.

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/CultureDigitali/MontaMac.git
cd MontaMac
swift test
zsh Scripts/build-app.sh
zsh Scripts/build-pkg.sh

The package script creates dist/MontaMac-2.2.0.pkg. See CONTRIBUTING.md before proposing changes.

Roadmap and community

Stars, thoughtful issues, translations, tests and pull requests all help MontaMac grow.
