Ejectify

What it does

https://ejectify.app 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.

Ejectify helps stop “Disk Not Ejected Properly” notifications on Mac by safely unmounting selected volumes before sleep and remounting them after wake.

Ejectify automatically attempts to unmount volumes when your Mac goes to sleep and mounts them again after it wakes. New in 2.1 : Eject instead of unmount and encrypted APFS unlocking . Ejectify runs in the background and can be configured from its icon in your Mac’s menu bar. Helps prevent “Disk Not Ejected Properly” notifications after your Mac or display wakes up. Helps reduce the risk of data loss by safely unmounting selected volumes. Supports external drives, removable internal media, and disk images . “Disk Not Ejected Properly” means macOS noticed that a volume disappeared without being safely unmounted first. This typically happens when an external volume loses power, disconnects,…from ejectify.app

In the maker’s words, at launch

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…

  Adrafinil – keep a lid-closed Mac awake only while agents workJun 2026 · github.com · ▲124

  A month ago there was a wave of posts and tweets about engineers walking around cafes and parks with their MacBooks propped half-open, as fully closing the lid forces sleep that stops their AI agents. Some people made snarky comments about using tmux or Amphetamine, and some defended their choice with “but I only need it sometimes, and forgetting to disable Amphetamine and finding my laptop discharged in my bag is worse.” This is a solution to this problem. Unlike caffeinate, it will prevent your MacBook from sleeping even with the lid closed, with no external power or display, using pmset…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  After 2.5 years on my side project, it has hit £500/month revenue▲647

  It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox (https://songbox.rocks) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately.…
