AutoMounter

AutoMounter keeps configured network shares mounted on Mac using discovery, reconnection and rules tied to network or computer state.

Our take

Pick for a Mac that repeatedly reconnects to NAS or work shares.

Rule-based mounting and server discovery reduce repeated manual Finder connections.

Keep in mind: It cannot make an unavailable server reliable. Pro Settings and the Helper App have edition-specific requirements, and AFP is disabled on macOS 27 or later.

What you can do

  • Discover and configure network servers and shares
  • Mount or remount shares under defined rules
  • Use optional scripts, custom paths and managed configuration

Good for

  • Users with recurring authorized NAS or network-share workflows.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting network storage, server permissions or backup service to be included.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: macOS 13.5.
  • It cannot make an unavailable server reliable. Pro Settings and the Helper App have edition-specific requirements, and AFP is disabled on macOS 27 or later.

Privacy & permissions

Server addresses, authentication and scripts are sensitive. Review rule conditions and event commands; automatic mounting exposes only what the connected account is authorized to access.
