Description
Semulov displays mounted volumes in the menu bar instead of cluttering your Desktop. It lists all mounted volumes categorized by type. Clicking on a volume menu will unmount/eject that volume. Semulov also supports Growl unmount and mount notifications.
Review
A small volume management tool, Semulov for Mac conveniently and neatly shows your mounted volumes in the menu bar, presenting them by type. To unmount volumes, you merely have to click on them. Overall it's helpful but nonessential.
Pros
Fast and easy unmounting of volumes: With Semulov for Mac you can easily unmount volumes from your computer with just a few clicks. You'll certainly find this faster than using Terminal or searching for the volume in Finder to "Option+Click" and have the volume ejected.
Small and snappy: The installer weighs only 180.43K. The program installs quickly and runs without a hitch. Using it to unmount volumes does not cause any freezing or annoying hiccups on your system.
Cons
Nonessential: You will want to install this application only if you frequently need to mount and unmount volumes. Using Finder to unmount volumes like Flash drives with "Option+Click" is not really that difficult to do. The supposed convenience of this tool is basically unnoticeable if you rarely need to unmount disks or volumes.
Lacks updates and support: The last update was around a year ago. If it suddenly becomes incompatible with your Mac or starts functioning erratically, there's no guarantee that you'll receive technical assistance.
Bottom Line
While useful, Semulov for Mac doesn't strike us as necessary, not for most users at least. Compared to using the contextual menu in Finder to unmount volumes, it does not offer a significantly better experience. Nevertheless, it does its job flawlessly. If you regularly plug and unplug storage devices, you should give it a go.
