An update on macOS drive unmounting
I made a post recently about drive unmounting on macOS, and while the method described in that post certainly worked, it was not very effective. I wanted something that just ejected my drives for me without me having to think about it, and unfortunately the AppleScript method still required me to remember to use the script.
I ended up finding a tool called Jettison that does this perfectly. It's a paid tool, and I was a bit unwilling (at first) to spend money on something which would mostly just eject my Time Machine disk when I take my MacBook out of the house. But, a few days into their 15-day free trial, I sent the developers the $12 AUD to buy a full licence without a second thought.
It's such a good utility, and it means that I don't have to think for a second about unmounting my disks when I'm in a hurry. It just sits quietly in the menu bar and ejects everything when I close my laptop's lid and rush off. I never have to think about it at all, which is exactly how much I want to think about ejecting external drives. For me, and for that purpose, Jettison is well worth the cost.
