// FAQ

What can I do with vmount for free?

Free access lets you mount supported drives read-only and browse files and folders in the app. No license is needed. Finder access, file export, writing, editing, deleting, and formatting require Pro.

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

No. macOS does not natively support ext4, Btrfs, or XFS. vmount mounts supported Linux drives in a Linux microVM and makes their files available in Finder. In-app browsing is free; Pro enables Finder access, file export, writing, and formatting.

Does vmount need kernel extensions or System Integrity Protection changes?

No. vmount uses Apple's native Virtualization.framework, so there are no kernel extensions, no SIP changes, and no reduced security mode required. The app is signed and notarized.

Will vmount work on Intel Macs?

vmount requires Apple Silicon (M1 or later) on macOS 15 or newer. Intel Macs are not supported.

Is vmount a one-time purchase or subscription?

Pro costs $29 USD once for a perpetual single-user license on up to 2 devices. There is no subscription or recurring charge. Purchases include a 14-day refund guarantee.

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

Yes. vmount supports NTFS through its Linux microVM and makes the drive available in Finder. In-app browsing is free. Pro is required for Finder access, file export, and writing, editing, or deleting files on the drive.
