What it does
When macOS says the disk is busy, MountDock names the app that’s holding it — then force-ejects anyway if you say so. No more hunting for the culprit in Activity Monitor.
Ejecting unmounts the volume but keeps the device present — greyed out with a Remount button — until you physically unplug it. The way Finder should have done it.
Optionally unmount external drives when your Mac sleeps, locks, or goes idle, and bring them back when you wake it. Off by default; entirely yours to turn on.
A quiet green dot shows when a drive is actually doing I/O — so you know when it’s genuinely safe to pull, not just when the spinner stopped.
A pixel-matched Finder stack in the Dock, a list in the menu bar, and a full Finder-style window — the same volumes and the same actions, wherever you reach for them.
