Jettison overview

Jettison automatically ejects external disks from your Mac before your computer goes to sleep.

Simplify those last few seconds when you grab your MacBook and run out the door. Just close the lid and Jettison will automatically eject your backup drive, iPod, or whatever is connected so you can safely unplug it. Say goodbye to "disk was not ejected properly" errors and waking your computer back up because you forgot to eject everything.

Jettison even makes sure that Time Machine backups and file server volumes are properly shut down before they're removed. Your backups and shared files are safe and sound.

And what if you decide not to leave, and open your MacBook back up? Jettison will check to see if your drives are still connected and will mount them back on the Desktop if they're there.

What’s new in version 1.8.8

Holding down the Command key while mounting a volume using Jettison's menu will also open that volume in the Finder (the "Mount" menu changes to "Mount and Open").
Fixed a bug that could cause Jettison to wake the screen back up as the system is going to sleep.
Corrected errors that occurred when remounting an encrypted volume that was already unlocked.
Fixed failures and incorrect error messages when manually mounting encrypted disks under certain circumstances.
More helpful error messages are given when the password for a volume is not in the keychain or Jettison doesn't have permission to access removable volumes.
Jettison will no longer force the sound volume to 50% when playing a success or failure sound while sound output is muted.
The option to eject external disks at restart and shutdown will also now eject them when the current user logs out.
The term "eject" is used consistently in the user interface, rather than using "unmount" in some contexts.

Excellent app, does exactly what it says, and for $4.95. Totally took care of the issue with my computer going to sleep and shutting off my external hard drives without ejecting them. Everything now runs the way it should. As another reviewer noted, this is the best $5 I've spent for a while.

Awesome little piece of software. It just works It was driving me crazy because I couldn't eject my external SSD from my 2017 MacBook Pro. Nothing I tried worked, including killing quicklook ui. Bought this thing and it just worked, instantly. And it also tells you exactly what program is holding up the unmount so you can kill it. Best $5 I've spent in a while.

downloaded to my brand new mac 27", that I am having loads of problems with. Fitted two external SSD harddrives, one for a dual boot with High Sierra and the other as a time machine backup. Always forgetting to unmount so thought Jettison was the answer. So closed down the computer with gay abandon only to be told on restart that my external ssd drive had been improperly closed down (or words to that effect). I think the app would be improved by some sort of window showing the drives being unmounted and then a message saying "all done and the computer is now closing down". Having said that there is something wrong I need to make sure I have set it up properly else it isn't working. I am running Catalina, don't know if that is the problem. DaveC

Jettison is very helpful app in modern high-speed world. It's so exhausted to eject any hard drives or other devices from a laptop before you quickly close a lid and need to hurry somewhere. Jettison is the right thing to have in this case. So, download this cheap useful app and enjoy it assistance.
