Network Share Mounter

Network shares,
automatically mounted

Network Share Mounter connects SMB, AFP, and WebDAV shares automatically – at login, on network changes, without any manual interaction. With built-in Kerberos Ticket Management, authentication runs silently in the background. Configurable via MDM, enterprise-ready, and Open Source.

Release notes for Network Share Mounter

v4.0.0 2026-03-23

What’s new

Modern SwiftUI Interface

Version 4 features a completely redesigned user interface built with SwiftUI:

Clean, modern settings window with tabbed navigation
Better organization of shares and authentication profiles

Authentication Profiles - Reusable Credentials

Instead of storing credentials separately for each share, you can now create reusable authentication profiles.

Fewer duplicates: Credentials stored once in Keychain instead of multiple times
Easier management: Update passwords centrally, not per-share
Clear overview: See which shares use which profiles
Flexible: Reassign shares to different profiles anytime

Custom Mount Point Names

You can now choose custom local names for your network shares, solving the duplicate share name problem:

Previously, mounting shares with identical names from different servers would cause conflicts
Now you can assign individual local names to each share
Note:
- Shares are mounted with your chosen name, Applications and scripts see the correct path
- For macOS systems, due to a limitation on mounts, Finder still displays the original share name from the server.

Additional Improvements

Active Directory binding: - Can differentiate between Macs bound to Active Directory and those that use Kerberos authentication
Native autostart: Uses macOS 13+ SMAppService API instead of using an external library
Better error messages: Clear, actionable error descriptions
Modern Swift architecture: Full async/await and Actor implementation
Comprehensive testing: Unit tests for critical components

System Requirements

macOS 13.5 (Ventura) or later
Optional: Kerberos configuration for Active Directory
