An easy way to mount ext4, btrfs or in fact any linux-supported filesystem on a Mac. With full write support, based on virtualization. Supports encrypted drives too. Doesn't require installing any kernel extensions or lowering system security.

I built this app because I wasn't satisfied with any of the existing solutions (mainly based on macFUSE). The workaround had always been to use a virtual machine with file sharing (SMB, NFS, etc.) but up until now it was always too much hassle to set it up. Now you can just type one command specifying which drive to mount and everything else is taken care of automatically. If you're working with a LUKS-encrypted drive, you'll be asked for the passphrase and that's it. There's also a handy `list` command which gives you diskutil-like output with all the supported partitions or even logical volumes (LVM).
