Mounty for NTFS
brew install --cask mounty
v2.4
Re-mounts NTFS volumes with write access on macOS without requiring third-party kernel extensions.
Why you might care
macOS natively mounts NTFS drives as read-only. Mounty allows you to remount them with write permissions using userspace FUSE instead of kernel modifications, making it safer and easier than alternatives like MacFUSE-based solutions. The app is lightweight and focuses solely on NTFS write access.
