EjectBox — Eject Drives from the Mac Menu Bar
EjectBox is a small menu bar app that lists everything mounted on a Mac that can be ejected: external drives, USB sticks, SD cards, disk images and network shares. One click ejects a volume, and Eject All clears the lot before a laptop goes in the bag. It suits anyone who plugs in drives every day and is tired of hunting for them in Finder.

First launch: EjectBox is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens with a normal double-click.
EjectBox lists every ejectable volume on a Mac behind an eject icon in the menu bar, with the number of volumes beside it. Each one can be ejected in a click, or all of them at once.
Every volume, one list
External drives, USB sticks, SD cards, disk images, network shares and Time Machine disks each show their format, capacity and free space. Volumes that share a physical drive are grouped, with an Eject Disk button for the whole device.
Eject All, in one click
Eject All unmounts and ejects everything listed, one device after another, before a laptop is unplugged or packed away.
See what is holding on
When a drive refuses to eject, EjectBox names the apps still using it where it can, and offers Force Eject after a second confirmation.
Always one click away
The menu bar shows an eject icon and how many volumes are mounted. A right-click opens a short menu to eject any single device or all of them.
Know when it is safe
A notification confirms when a drive can be unplugged. It can be switched off in the options menu.
How it works
- Left-click the eject icon lists every volume that can be ejected, with its format, capacity and free space. The number beside the icon counts them.
- The eject button on a row ejects that volume, and volumes that share a drive are grouped with an Eject Disk button. Eject All at the bottom clears everything.
- Clicking a name reveals that volume in Finder.
- When a drive is busy, the panel names the apps still using it and offers Force Eject after a second confirmation.
- Right-click the icon, or Control-click it, for a short menu to eject any single device or all of them.
- The options menu holds the menu bar count, disk images, network shares, the safe-to-remove notification and Open at Login.
Opening it the first time
EjectBox is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens with a normal double-click.
Which volumes does it show?
Anything that can be ejected or unmounted. The Mac's own startup disk and hidden system volumes are never listed, and disk images and network shares can each be hidden.
Does it need special permissions?
Only notifications, if the safe-to-remove banner is wanted. EjectBox never opens files on the drives it lists.
Does it connect to the internet?
No. There is no account and no tracking.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac with Apple silicon or Intel running macOS 13 Ventura or later.
