Keep drives mounted, or make ejecting easier?
Most drive utilities help you eject or auto-eject volumes, often around sleep. Noject locks the drives you never want ejected. These pages show where Noject fits, where each other tool fits, and why they often solve different problems.

Noject vs. the alternatives
Menu bar disk manager
Noject vs. Mountain
Mountain is a broad menu bar disk manager: it mounts and ejects volumes (individually or in groups), auto-ejects on sleep, can quit the apps that block an ejection, and includes a per-volume protection option. Noject does one job: it locks selected volumes so they cannot be ejected by accident, enforced by a background agent across reboots, sleep, and reconnects.
Read comparisonSleep auto-unmount
Noject vs. Ejectify
Ejectify automatically unmounts the volumes you select when your Mac sleeps, the display turns off, the screen locks, or the screensaver starts, then remounts them on wake, to avoid "disk was not ejected properly" warnings. Noject keeps permanently-plugged drives mounted and blocks accidental ejection.

Sleep auto-eject
Noject vs. Jettison
Jettison automatically ejects external disks before your Mac sleeps or the display powers off, then remounts the ones still connected on wake, which is handy for laptops you move around. Noject is for stationary Macs where selected storage should stay mounted.
Read comparisonNetwork share mounter
Noject vs. AutoMounter
AutoMounter is a dedicated network share mounter: it keeps NAS shares (SMB/CIFS/DFS, AFP, NFS, WebDAV, and read-only FTP) mounted and ready, with mount rules tied to your Wi-Fi network, VPN, or running apps, plus Wake on LAN, server discovery, and custom mount points. Noject is built to stop accidental ejection of local, permanently-plugged drives; its Mac App Store version also reconnects protected SMB, AFP, and FTP shares, but as a lighter set-and-forget feature rather than a full mounting engine.
