A 9.7-inch iPad Air, however, with a Mountie and a 15-inch Retina MacBook, may just be a new high water mark in portable productivity. Full Review Mounty for NTFS comes with a frugal appearance. This freeware makes it easy to share files between Windows and macOS platforms. It's exclusively prepared for remounting NTFS formatted hard drives in read-write mode on Mac computers. Ever since the days of the original USB-powered Mimo monitor, I’ve had a hankering for this kind of solution, but those that use USB drivers and Wi-Fi connectivity have ultimately proven unsatisfactory, or not actually portable. Mounty NTFS for Mac is an NTFS for Mac free program accessed from both DMG installer and Homebrew. After that, anytime you connect a NTFS device, the app will ask if you want to mount it, and you will then be able to read and write it as normal. When traveling, my main productivity suck is not having multiple displays to work across, and Duet combined with the Mountie looks like a cure for all my ails. After a brief installation process, Mounty runs in the background and displays a small mountain icon on your Mac's menu bar. But now that Duet’s excellent secondary display app for iPad and iPhone exists, the Mountie becomes a gadget I will likely recommend (once I confirm it works as advertised, as it should, based on Ten One’s track record) for just about any Mac-happy mobile worker. Two weeks ago, I would’ve walked right past the Mountie, despite it being named for the horse-riding national police force of my homeland. But, thanks to the program Mounty, you can now read and write any hard drive, completely free. A snap clamp squeezes your device to make sure it won’t fall off while you’re working, and a long vertical support strip means you won’t get the wiggle and waggle that can make using two loosely joined devices at the same time somewhat nausea inducing. Padded rubberized inserts mean that it’ll respect your device’s industrial design, and fit snugly regardless of what you’re trying to attach to what. After that, anytime you connect a NTFS device, the app will ask. The Mountie isn’t the first gadget to do what it does, but it does appear to be among the best designed. Mounty runs in the background and displays a small mountain icon on your Macs menu bar. Your mobile two-screen setup just got a lot more perfect: Ten One Design has launched the Mountie, a two-sided clip that securely mounts an iPad, iPhone or any other mobile device to your MacBook or iMac’s bezel, while remaining small enough to slip into a jacket pocket or laptop case accessory compartment.
