Mac internal storage is expensive ($200 for 256GB!). ExtBridge lets you move gigabytes of Apps (Xcode, Logic Pro), Media Libraries (4K Video, Photos), and Archives (Backups, VMs) to external SSDs without breaking system links. It creates system-level symbolic links automatically. Plug in your drive to run apps seamlessly at native speed; unplug to take them to go. Save money on your next Mac purchase by buying the base model and expanding with ExtBridge.

I recently bought a Mac Mini and immediately regretted getting the 256GB base model. Between Xcode, local LLMs, and my 4K media collection, I ran out of space in a week. Apple wanted $200 to upgrade to 512GB. A fast 2TB NVMe SSD cost me $110. The math was obvious, but managing symbolic links manually via terminal was a pain and risky. So I built ExtBridge. What it does: 📦 Moves Apps & Folders: Migrates heavy logic/media/caches to your external drive. 🔗 Smart Linking: Creates system-level symlinks so macOS thinks the app is still in /Applications. ⚡️ Native Speed: Apps run just as fast as your external drive allows (NVMe recommended). 🛡️ Safe: Auto-hides broken links when the drive is unplugged to prevent crashes. It's perfect for Developers (Xcode, Docker), Creatives (Final Cut, Logic Pro), and anyone who refuses to pay the "Apple Tax" on storage. I'd love to verify if this helps your workflow! Let me know what you think. 👇
