A native SwiftUI menu bar app for managing external drives on macOS. Mount, unmount, organize into groups, and auto-manage drives at login.
Open the .dmg, drag Saddle to Applications, and launch. On first launch, macOS will ask you to allow the background helper in System Settings > Login Items.
Or install with Homebrew:
brew tap smandable/tap && brew install --cask saddle
