CloudMount turns any rclone backend — Wasabi, S3, Proton Drive, and more — into a folder on your Mac or PC. Add a host, pick a path, mount it. No account, no subscription, no vendor lock-in.
rclone is the engine underneath — powerful, but a config file and a terminal away from feeling like a real drive. CloudMount is the tray icon, the web UI, and the Keychain-backed secrets that make it one.
FUSE (rclone mount) and NFS (rclone nfsmount) on macOS, rclone mount + WinFsp on Windows — your bucket shows up like any other folder.
Add remotes, pick paths, mount/unmount — served from 127.0.0.1:8765, nothing reachable from the network.
Static keys and AWS profile credentials never touch a plaintext config file on disk.
Use a named profile from ~/.aws — IAM user, SSO, or Roles Anywhere via credential_process — same as the AWS CLI.
Menu bar on macOS, system tray on Windows — mount, unmount, and check status without opening the web UI.
Downloaded straight from rclone on first setup — every backend rclone supports is available, tested so far on Wasabi and Proton Drive.
Being upfront: these aren’t built yet. Tracked in the open in docs/FUTURE.md.
Remount everything after a reboot without clicking through the UI — per-mount toggle, skips what's already up.
SSO sessions expire mid-day. Detect the dead mount and offer a one-click AWS login + remount, only on failure — no proactive polling.
A per-mount checkbox to pass rclone --read-only, for the "cloud storage as a safe reference copy" case.
Already use rclone directly? Map your remotes to CloudMount hosts instead of re-entering everything by hand.
Drag files in and out like any local drive — no browser upload dialog, no separate sync client.
Point a host at your named profile; CloudMount runs aws sso login only after a failed connection, not on a timer.
One of the tested backends — set it up once from the web UI, then treat it like local disk.
Any rclone backend works the same way in CloudMount — move providers without relearning a new app.
CloudMount is MIT-licensed and built in the open. No trial, no license key, no paywalled features — clone it, build it, or grab a release. Everything runs locally; nothing phones home.
| Asset | Platform |
|---|---|
| CloudMount-x.y.z.dmg | macOS 14+ (Apple Silicon & Intel) |

Yes — MIT licensed, no trial, no license key, no paywalled features. Build it from source or grab a signed release from GitHub.
No. Everything runs locally — mounts, the web UI, and credential storage. There's no account, no analytics, no telemetry.
macOS 14 (Sonoma) and later, and Windows with WinFsp installed. Same feature set, native tray icon on both.
A tray icon, a web UI for hosts and mounts instead of hand-editing rclone.conf, Keychain/Credential Manager-backed secrets, and AWS SSO handling — rclone does the heavy lifting underneath, CloudMount is the part you actually interact with.
Check the release notes for the version you're downloading — recent releases are signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized, so Gatekeeper opens them with no warning.
