Mounty overview
Mounty is a simple utility to re-mount NTFS volumes in read-write mode. Sometimes you will find yourself struggling with an USB stick from your peers which is NTFS formatted. Reformatting doesn't help since HFS+ formatted drives are not readable on common Windows PCs. Also, FAT32 will not help either when the file size is bigger than 2GB. Here comes Mounty: It uses the build-in capability of OS X and will not install any additional drivers. This makes Mounty a small and handy utility for your daily file sharing workflow.

I just restored my external Hard drive using Windows CHKDISK with a lot of hassles searching online. Thanks, Mounty for letting me to go through all the hassles.

It seems they have changed their website URL from enjoygineering.com to mounty.app.
Unfortunately, they forgot to replace the server certificate. So now it's not possible to access the website, as the cert and the URL doesn't match.

I meticulously followed mounting and un-mounting procedure and it still corrupted my drive's directory. The Mounty website's recommended solution is to use Tuxera to fix it. Software that costs US$31. Seems like Mounty is really designed to sell Tuxera products.

Thought this would be simple to cleanup some backups I have.
Lost 10 years worth of files from an old hard drive...

This app saved me a lot of time. I was struggling with USB keys in NTFS formats for some time before I found Mounty. So far works perfectly for me.

Works perfectly and without any fuss. First time I launched it it let me know that it detected a mounted Bootcamp volume and asked me if I wanted to make it writeable. Perfect.
Just one complaint: the menu icon of a blue mountain is WAY too wide and takes up too much precious real estate. Shrink that and I'll change my review to 5 stars!

Perfect for my needs: read/write NTFS disks. Does what it says no more, no less. Includes an option to Start at Login. Perfect.
