Volume Manager
Keep network volumes connected automatically. No more "Server not available" dialogs.
Detect your network, mount servers on login or on schedule, and auto-reconnect if they drop. Perfect for teams, studios, IT, and anyone who lives on shared storage.
Stop chasing offline servers
Volume Manager watches for your networks and mounts the right shares automaticallyโSMB, disks, and custom paths. If a connection drops, it retries and alerts you. Schedule mounts for backups, media work, or daily team workflows.
Never lose access to your shared storage again. Volume Manager automatically detects when your network becomes available and mounts your configured shares. It monitors connections in real-time, automatically reconnecting if a share becomes unavailable. Perfect for maintaining persistent access to network resources without manual intervention.
Set it once and forget it. Volume Manager remembers your server configurations and handles all the complexity of network mounting behind the scenes. Whether you're switching between office, home, or VPN networks, Volume Manager ensures your shares are always accessible when you need them.
Key features
Auto-mount SMB
Save your servers once, then let Volume Manager mount them on login or when the network appears.
Network-aware
Detects WiโFi/LAN changes to mount the right shares for office, home, or VPN.

bugfix๐ Changes
- Fixed small bug: When mounting an SMB share with a "2 level" mount point (ie: video/Movies) the mount works fine, but the app reports that the mount DOESN'T work. The log reports success, and macOS sees the mounted share, but the status screen is showing "Not mounted".

Reviews
"I purchased this to replace AutoMounter. There were issues with AutoMounter getting stuck connecting drives, especially when changing networks (home, work, etc) and the only way to fix it was to reboot the computer! This App looks very plain, and the setup process could be improved (adding a duplicate function), but it works flawlessly. I love that you don't have to do anything special to connect the drives to the /Volume folder. The drives mount when logging in, and remount if the network drops."
User Raves
"Volume Manager corrects the dreadful SMB implementation on macOS. If the SMB share is unmounted again after a deep sleep, Volume Manager recognizes this and mounts it again, perfect!"
