Yes Tahoe introduces all sort of crazy bugs!

[Cyberdevs]

v2.0 Build 24

• Fixed settings view issue on macOS Tahoe when the app is in menubar mode
• The detected disks are now saved so the app won't have to scan for the disks on each launch. The app will only scan the disks on launch to check the current disks state
• Fixed the disk scan issue when switching between Window or Menubar Mode
• Fixed app's settings issue on macOS Big Sur
• Performance Improvements

Can you please update to v2.0 build 24 and see if that's fixed. I published the new version with settings view fixed last night.

[AlexAMD]

This occurs with the latest build 2.0-24 both on Sequoia and Tahoe I have just verified

[verdazil]

@Cyberdevs, I confirm normal operation V2.0 (24) in macOS Sequoia 15.7.1 and macOS Tahoe 26.01

Thanks for the feedback, I just fixed the issue with the minimum height calculated for the main view which was affecting the setting's view and published the update which went fine on my Z690 rig but returns the error on my MacBook Pro but that issue will resolve itself in couple of hours.

I guess I need to check and see why the updates work on some systems and returns the error on others.

Yes, indeed, it has also been fixed and is working. (V2.0 build 25)

@eSaF

Thanks for the report, I really don't know why this is happening, on my Z690 rig the update went fine from the app but on my other rigs I get the same error.

I don't what is causing the issue but I guess there is an issue on my server which blocks the update somehow.
I'm looking into it and I hope to resolve the issue once and for all. the link in the first post always will be updated as well until I resolve the issue with the sparkle

[Cyberdevs]

I guess the update issue is a cache issue on my server. I've cleaned the cache and the update seems to be working ok now!

update via app, everything OK

This is a must have app, simple, ease of use and effective.

Packed full of info, didn't think it could be improved any further. Obviously proven wrong.

 

@Cyberdevs great work as usual Bro.

Cheers. 

Thanks man, I'm really glad you guys like the app and I must say I'm also happy with the way this app turned out in the end.

Cheers man!

[Irish_Man]

@Cyberdevs like @eSaF said, it's a must have app.

 

I switched to "About" tab and I'm staring at one thing there and thinking...no way he did that too. No way, it can't be.

Should I click on it or not? Click it, you baztard. I clicked on it and boom, the serial number switched to hidden

Amazing app, my friend. 

 

 

[Matgen84]

@Cyberdevs great job. Getting better and better with each update. Thanks my friend. 😊

@Cyberdevs please make it EFI Mounter across the board rather than the current confusing criss-cross of ESP and EFI because a system only has ONE dedicated ESP but can have - as you state/ confirm yourself - many EFI partitions. Your tool clearly aims to detect and if needed mount any of them EFIs, so the label obviously has to be EFI Mounter (file names, About, topic name etc.). Most people are more accustomed to the term EFI rather than ESP anyway.

 

Great tool - more Pro certainly than the aged ESP Mounter Pro.

[PippoX0]

Very good tool !!! :-)
Thanks you Cyberdevs

In the Hackintosh context on macOS, the difference between EFI and ESP lies in name, not technical structure. ESP (EFI System Partition) is the official UEFI-standard partition storing bootloaders and drivers, while "EFI partition" is the same partition as referred to within macOS. Technically, they are identical and accessed the same way. Therefore, there is no need to change the name of the application.

[BuXb]

@verdazil you're wrong in several regards:

 

1. please research the definition differences between specific ESP (EFI System Partition = the one partition an OS has been booted from as set in UEFI BIOS, even on a real Mac as written into NVRAM) and general EFI partitions before making false statements

2. ESP is neither specific nor limited to hackintosh but a term from general IT/ computing

3. As said before, even when you look at the screenshots, Cyberdevs' tool can mount as many EFI partitions as there are in a given system. Again, there is always only ONE ESP - period. Other EFI partition can contain other bootloaders to mount Windows, Linux, other macOS etc. pp.

4. The tool works in ANY recent macOS not just hackintosh - it needs and should be looked at with a wider perspective and farther horizon.

5. It's not about a name change but name consistency. Seems you either didn't read or otherwise understand my comment...

 

Hope all is clear now. Summed up, clearly EFI Mounter not just limited ESP Mounter

Pleae stop being so technical @BuXb. You are smarter than this 👍

ESP and EFI Partition:

ESP stands for EFI System Partition. This is the one partition that a computer boots from. On a Mac, there is always only one active ESP.

EFI partitions are all partitions that have an EFI file system, for example for bootloaders of Windows, Linux, or other macOS installations. Technically they look the same, but only the ESP is the main boot partition.

Conclusion: BuXb is correct that there should be a distinction between the ESP and other EFI partitions.

 

Hackintosh context:

Verdazil says the difference is only in the name. Technically that is true, but for the boot process, the ESP is unique. The other EFI partitions are not the main boot partition.

 

Tool name:

The tool mounts all EFI partitions, not just the ESP. That is why the name EFI Mounter is better than ESP Mounter. It is about making the name clear and accurate for all cases.

 

Cross-platform perspective:

Verdazil points out that the tool is only for Hackintosh. That is true, but BuXb emphasizes using correct and understandable terms regardless of perspective.

 

Summary:

BuXb is correct: EFI Mounter is the better name because the tool detects and mounts all EFI partitions. The ESP is just a special partition that the system boots from.

 

And now, love each other.🤗

[Cyberdevs]

Technically, this tool isn't for Hackintosh only, I use it on Macs that I use OpenCore Legacy Patcher to install unsupported macOS on and to maintain their EFI folders.

But yes it is mainly used on Hackintosh
