Worked perfectly for my needs. Switched from Paragon's NTFS for Mac to this and didn't skip a beat. Thanks for making this available!

Too complicated for what it should do. Installing the helper is a hassle, and the app requires disabling parts of macOS security and enabling extra system extensions before it can work. It also doesn’t function properly without installing additional components. For a tool that’s supposed to make NTFS access simple, the setup is far too intrusive and inconvenient. I expected something straightforward, but the installation process felt excessive and not very user-friendly. The product’s own documentation notes that system extensions may need to be enabled, especially on Apple silicon Macs, and user reviews also mention the extension setup as unclear.

Thank you for your feedback. I understand that the setup process can feel more involved than expected. To provide reliable and fast read-write performance on Apple silicon Macs (M1–M5), all NTFS for Mac solutions currently require enabling a system extension. This is due to macOS security restrictions—there’s no way to achieve full NTFS read-write speeds without this step. The extension allows the software to interact directly with the file system at the kernel level, which is necessary for stable and high-speed performance. If you’re still in the process of setting it up, here’s a step-by-step guide that walks through enabling the system extension clearly: https://iboysoft.com/howto/enable-system-extension-m1-mac.html.

An absolute must-have utility when you own a MAC-PC hybrid environment, or with the need to interact with others who don’t own Macs.

Ask for uneccaptable security breach to install an extension from an unknown developer.

great for getting into an old Windows hard drive. You don’t need to do the involved set-up with secruity prvilages just to access the odd disk.

For the past few days, it's been freezing the entire Mac. As soon as the SSD drive is connected, but after a few minutes. I've reinstalled it twice but nothing... The ssd works fine on Windows (scan ok)

It worked in the past, but since macOS 15, it has stopped functioning properly. When I try to mount an NTFS drive, the file locks disappear at first, but as soon as I open a folder or try to access the drive, everything freezes. iBoysoft stops responding and breaks Finder too, which also becomes unresponsive. Sometimes I even have to restart my Mac to get Finder working again. I've tried reinstalling the Kernel Extensions with no luck. I'm writing to check if anything has been fixed after macOS 26, but nothing has changed. Still doesn't work. This was one of the main reasons I got a Setapp subscription to work comfortably with any drives.

According to your situation, there shoud be errors in the file system of your NTFS drive, it is why the file locks disappear at first and then everything freezes, please contact [email protected] so that we can assist you.

之前可以寫入資料, 不知是不是系統更新之後軟體沒優化,開啟寫入就一直死當。 It was able to write data before, but I’m unsure if the software was not optimized after the system update, so it keeps crashing when I attempt to write.

Which macOS version are you using? If it is macOS 26 Beta, please overwrite the current installation with V8.0 Beta from https://iboysoft.com/ntfs-for-mac/. If it is not macOS 26 Beta, please contact [email protected].
