Ejectify automatically unmounts external volumes when your Mac starts sleeping, and mounts them again after it wakes up. Useful when you have connected a USB drive to a display that powers off when your Mac starts sleeping, causing the drive to be ejected.

👋 Hi hunters! I have connected a Time Machine disk to an external display. As soon as my Mac sleeps, the display is powered off and the disk gets ejected forcefully. This results in annoying "Disk not ejected properly" notifications when my Mac wakes up again and eventually might corrupt the volume. This menu bar app automatically unmounts my Time Machine disk, and other external volumes, when my Mac starts sleeping, and mount them again after it wakes up. Problem solved. It is similar to Jettison but Ejectify additionally allows you to configure when volumes should be unmounted automatically. In my case, it works best when they get unmounted when (external) screens started sleeping instead of my Mac. Hope you find it useful too 👍.

@nielsmouthaan1 My regular tool of the trade, Mountain, does this in experimental mode but Mountain doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. Ejectify looks a perfect replacement for the job. Alt least the automatical mounting and unmounting functionality.

This is a perfect example of a "one-thing-well" app. Bought it! Also: The presentation here on PH and on its website is fantastic, you even mention a competing product… congrats 👍 One thing missing: macOS compatibility (required OS Version?).

@tafkaf Thanks for your kind words and support, appreciated! Thanks for the suggestion too. It's only visible on the Gumroad page but it should be on the landing page too. It supports 10.12+.
