That single fact is why most people never touch RAM folders — one crash, one unmount, one reboot and the data evaporates. RAM Folder exists to remove that risk entirely. Here’s how. ↓
Most RAM folder solutions hand you a volume and walk away.
RAM Folder treats persistence as the whole point — your data flows to and from storage
automatically, so a RAM folder feels exactly like a normal folder that just happens to be lightning fast.
Of course, you can also disable persistence entirely for a given RAM folder.
It will behave like a temporary RAM folder: all changes will be lost when the folder is unmounted.
Drag a folder onto the app and it mounts a RAM volume pre-loaded with that folder’s contents. Your project caches, build folders, or scratch space instantly become RAM folders.
Work entirely in RAM, then eject. RAM Folder syncs everything back to a folder (or an S3-compatible storage) before the RAM folder is unmounted — powered by a bundled rclone engine that only moves what changed.
You can configure RAM Folder to run incremental backups at the frequency of your choosing — so data loss from a kernel panic, forced halt, or any other incident has limited impact.
Mount it right before you open the app that needs it, eject it when you’re done — your data is saved back to disk either way. The memory is only borrowed for as long as you’re actually working.
The size you set is a ceiling, not a reservation. A RAM folder grows as you fill it and uses exactly as much memory as the files it holds — 2 GB of build artifacts in a 10 GB RAM folder costs you 2 GB.
Create, mount, back up and unmount RAM folders without leaving the terminal — handy for scripts, automation and integration into development workflows, such builds, tests or CI/CD workflows. The same engine under the hood, same performance guarantees.
