ESP Mounter - Ultimate EFI/ESP Mounter

[Cyberdevs]

Hi guys.

I recently decided to create an ultimate tool for managing EFI partitions and bootloaders and I wanted to share it with you guys.

Here is the summary of the app:

EFI Mounter is a powerful macOS utility that simplifies EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) partition management with intelligent filesystem detection and comprehensive disk operations.

Key Features

EFI Partition Management

• One-click mounting/unmounting of EFI system partitions
• Automatic Finder integration - mounted EFI partitions open directly in Finder
• Visual status indicators showing mount state for each disk
• Administrator privilege handling with secure Keychain password storage

 EFI Folder Operations

• Copy EFI folders between different mounted EFI partitions
• Export to filesystem when no destination EFI partitions are available
• Automatic backup creation before overwriting existing EFI folders
• Real-time progress tracking with cancellation support
• Safety warnings for boot disk and multi-boot configurations

 Advanced Filesystem Detection

• Multi-OS recognition: macOS (APFS, HFS+), Windows (NTFS), Linux (ext4, xfs, btrfs), ExFAT
• Bootloader identification: OpenCore and Clover detection with version info
• Boot disk highlighting with special visual indicators
• Intelligent classification distinguishing Linux ExFAT from standard ExFAT

 Comprehensive Disk Management

• Multiple disk types: Internal, external, removable, and disk images (DMG/ISO)
• Smart filtering with customizable display options for different disk categories
• Safe disk ejection for removable and external drives
• Real-time updates when devices are connected or disconnected
• Detailed disk information including size, filesystem, and mount status

Dual Interface Design

• Menu bar application with compact popover interface
• Pin functionality to keep menu bar window persistent
• Context menus for quick right-click operations
• Auto-adjusting layouts based on content and disk count

Security & System Integration

• Secure credential storage in macOS Keychain
• Launch at login option for seamless integration
• System notifications for mount/unmount operations
• Automatic updates with built-in Sparkle framework
• Comprehensive settings for customizing app behavior

 User Experience

• Double-click shortcuts for quick EFI mount/unmount
• Tooltip guidance for all interactive elements
• Progress indicators for all operations
• Error handling with clear, actionable messages
• Multi-boot awareness with enhanced safety warnings

Perfect for: macOS power users, Hackintosh enthusiasts, system administrators, and anyone needing reliable EFI partition access with advanced disk management capabilities.

Hi,

I've added the feature you've requested to be able to detect and mount multiple EFI partitions on a same disk.

You can update the app to the new version and test it out. I've also updated to the link to v1.5 on the first post.

Let me know how it goes
