Post Description

Hi HN,

I built a small macOS utility to solve something that kept bothering me: external drives not being safely ejected when a Mac goes to sleep, leading to “Disk Not Ejected Properly” warnings and potential data issues.

macOS doesn’t always give volumes enough time to unmount, especially with SSDs, SD cards, or disk images. Manually ejecting works, but it’s easy to forget.

Ejectify automates this by unmounting selected volumes right before sleep (or display off) and mounting them again on wake.

In Ejectify 2, I focused on making (un)mounting more reliable, with an optional helper for better consistency, improved sleep handling to give operations more time to complete, broader volume support, and the ability to suppress system warnings if they still occur.

To celebrate the launch, it’s available for €4.99 (instead of €6.99) with the code EJECTIFY2.

Best, Niels.
