// FAQ

Can macOS natively read ext4, btrfs, or XFS drives?

No. macOS natively supports APFS, HFS+, FAT32, and exFAT only — and read-only NTFS. vmount adds full read/write support for ext4, btrfs, XFS, NTFS, exFAT, and LUKS-encrypted volumes by mounting them inside a sandboxed Linux microVM and exposing them to Finder over NFS.

Does vmount need kernel extensions or System Integrity Protection changes?

No. vmount uses Apple's native Virtualization.framework — the same API that powers macOS virtualization tools — so there are no kernel extensions, no SIP changes, and no reduced security mode required. The app is signed, notarized, and runs entirely in user space.

Will vmount work on Intel Macs?

vmount requires Apple Silicon (M1 or later) on macOS 14 or newer. Intel Macs are not supported.

Is vmount a one-time purchase or subscription?

vmount is a one-time payment of $29 USD for a perpetual single-user license, valid on up to 2 devices. There are no subscriptions, no recurring charges, and a 14-day refund guarantee.

Can I mount NTFS drives for read and write on Mac?

Yes. vmount supports full NTFS read/write through the Linux microVM's NTFS-3G driver, and exposes the drive to Finder so you can use it like any native macOS volume — copy files, drag-drop, and Open in Finder all work.
