Automatically (un)mount network shares #3

Hi there. Although it's really beyond the scope of your app... hear me out! 😉

I love your app because the times I unplug something when my MacBook lid is closed... but it's another app in the menu bar taking recourses... it would also be nice to have a feature to automatically connect to network shares. I had an app for that but I was cutting down on background apps.

So anyway, ... I just wanted to share this.

Thanks! Got more related requests and was thinking of making this a separate app as the use case is different. What's the other app you have been using for this?

Also, Hidden Bar is a handy bar to clean up your menu bar!

It was AutoMounter. I didn't like the UI (which isn't macOSy). And I don't like it when I have to much apps in the background. So I am not using another app to hide too much apps in my menubar 😉 At these times, I wish I could code myself to make apps that only have the things I need! Haha

Thanks. I'll start looking into the possibility to have Ejectify or a separate app do something similar (but likely simpler).
