I built SteadyMount because every way I tried to mount SFTP or WebDAV in Finder had something annoying about it. Mountain Duck moved to a $49/year subscription. ExpanDrive got acquired in 2024 and went to $99/month. macFUSE/sshfs still works, but it's a pain (Reduced Security mode, Recovery-mode reboot, kernel extension). rclone mount works for some workflows but it's not built for Finder integration and sleep/wake cycles. SteadyMount uses Apple's File Provider API, the same framework iCloud Drive and Dropbox use. The extension runs in a sandboxed XPC process. When macOS pauses it to save power, it self-heals on the next access instead of throwing "server disconnected." Atomic-rename workflows like 'git checkout' and SQLite WAL commits work in the correct order, and reads have per-chunk timeouts so a stalled server doesn't hang Finder. v1 supports SFTP (ED25519/RSA key + password auth, TOFU host key validation) and WebDAV (Basic/Digest, HTTPS). macOS 14+. $27.99 one-time, no subscription. Known limitation: File Provider presents a case-insensitive filesystem to Finder. So if you mount a Linux box with files that differ only in case, that matters. v2 might use FSKit instead to resolve this (no workaround at the File Provider layer right now per Apple). It's on the Mac App Store now: https://apps.apple.com/app/id676... Anyone else move off Mountain Duck after the subscription change? Curious what you ended up using in the meantime. thanks Aaron
