JuiceMount v0.1.0 — the first tagged release.

Edit video straight off your NAS. Your storage shows up in Finder as a real volume, and footage streams in as you scrub: only the blocks you touch. Premiere, Resolve, and Final Cut see a local drive. $0 per seat, on the NAS you already own. Built on JuiceFS.

This is an early, honest beta — hardened for zero data loss on real photo and video ingest, but pre-1.0, macOS-only, and self-hosted (there is a server side you run yourself).

Download

Grab JuiceMount-v0.1.0-AppleSilicon.zip below — a notarized, Apple-Silicon build. Unzip and drag JuiceMount.app to /Applications. Because it is notarized, Gatekeeper opens it without the "unidentified developer" block (you still get the standard one-time "downloaded from the internet" confirmation).

Before it can mount, you need:

  • macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, Apple Silicon. Intel is untested — build from source if you want to try it.
  • macFUSE and the juicefs client: brew install juicefs and brew install --cask macfuse.
  • A server running the stack: TrueNAS SCALE, Synology, or any Docker host. See the quick start.

On first launch the Setup Assistant checks those prerequisites and walks you through pointing the app at your box.

What you get

  • A real Finder volume at /Volumes/<name>, the same path on every Mac, so a teammate's .prproj / .drp / .fcpx opens without relinking.
  • Block-level streaming: scrub a 100 GB take and only the blocks you touch come over the wire, cached to local SSD for instant re-reads.
  • Instant filename search (⌘⇧F) from a local index — about 29 ms across ~131k entries.
  • Pinning and offline mode: pin a folder, keep cutting on a plane; the app can even boot fully offline and serve your last-known library.
  • An opt-in write spool: writes ack on local SSD and trickle-upload to the NAS, SHA-256-verified at every hop, with crash recovery.
  • A state-tinted menu-bar app to drive all of it.

Honest limits

Not a SaaS, not a backup, not a review platform, macOS-only on the client. Heavy simultaneous multi-editor use is not soak-tested yet. See What JuiceMount is not.

Built on JuiceFS

JuiceMount is a macOS experience layer on top of JuiceFS (Apache-2.0, by Juicedata). The chunked object layout, the Redis metadata engine, and cache management are theirs. Credit where it is due.
