FUSE-T is a kext-less FUSE implementation for macOS that replaces kernel extensions with a userspace NFSv4/SMB/FSKit server, letting macOS mount FUSE filesystems as network volumes. It is a drop-in replacement for macfuse with compatible libfuse API headers.

Use cases

• mount custom filesystems on macOS without kernel extensions
• replace macfuse in an app distribution to avoid kext installation issues
• run sshfs on modern macOS
• implement a userspace filesystem with libfuse APIs on macOS
• avoid system crashes caused by macfuse kexts
• mount FUSE volumes using macOS built-in tools

When to choose

• you need FUSE filesystem support on recent macOS versions where kexts are hard to load
• you want a drop-in macfuse replacement without changing your filesystem code
• you need extended attributes and file locks support via NFSv4

When to avoid

• you are building filesystems on Linux, where standard libfuse is the right choice
• you need the exact latest Linux libfuse API surface, which differs from the macfuse-compatible API
• you require a pure in-kernel filesystem solution
