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.
