## What it is
udiskie is a udisks2 front-end that automatically mounts removable media such as USB drives and CDs from userspace on Linux. It includes a tray icon, desktop notifications, CLI tools for mounting/unmounting, and support for LUKS encrypted devices and loop devices.

## Use cases
- automatically mount usb drives on linux
- mount removable media without root
- unmount flash drive from command line
- unlock luks encrypted usb devices
- mount iso files as loop devices
- get notifications when drives are mounted
- system tray icon for managing disks

## When to choose
- you use a minimal Linux desktop or window manager without full desktop environment disk handling
- you want userspace automounting of removable media without sudo
- you need CLI tools plus tray icon for mounting, unmounting, and LUKS unlocking

## When to avoid
- you are on a non-Linux platform, since it depends on udisks2
- your desktop environment already handles automounting well
- you need to manage internal fixed disks rather than removable media
