Hashido

Read & write APFS drives on Windows

Plug in your Mac disk. Open your files. That’s it.

Version 1.4.1 · Windows 10/11 · free

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Install

    One installer for Windows 10 and 11. Nothing else to set up.

  2. Step 2

    Plug in your Mac disk

    Connect a Mac-formatted (APFS) drive to your PC.

  3. Step 3

    It appears in File Explorer

    Within seconds it gets a drive letter, like any other drive.

What it does

Safety first

  • Read-only (default)
  • Writing allowed (experimental)

Hashido opens every disk read-only and never writes to a disk on its own. To change files, turn on “Allow writing” for that disk.

Writing is still experimental. Please make a backup of anything important before you turn it on, and always use “Safely eject” before you unplug the disk.

If writing is interrupted, for example when a cable comes loose, the disk opens in its last saved state the next time.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Hashido is free and open source under the GPL-3.0 license. No ads, no account.

Windows shows a “Windows protected your PC” warning.

The installer isn’t code-signed yet. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway”. Signing is planned.

Does it send any data?

Only if you say yes when you first start the app. Then it sends anonymous reports: no names, no file contents, and no IP address is stored. Read the privacy notes

Which disks can’t it open?

Time Machine snapshots, Fusion Drive, the macOS system volume, HFS+ disks and DMG files.

Does it work on Windows on ARM?

Yes. It runs on Windows 11 on ARM through Windows’ built-in emulation.

Hashido is made by one developer. If it helped you, you can support the project.
