    Is there a console version of VeraCrypt for OSX, like the console version for Linux?
    If so, where can I download it?
    Thanks

    It is already possible to use console version of VeraCrypt on Mac OSX: the same binary used for UI can also be used for console.

    For example, to mount a file container named test.hc in console mode, open Terminal and type the following command:

    /Applications/VeraCrypt.app/Contents/MacOS/VeraCrypt -t -k "" --pim=0 --protect-hidden=no test.hc /media/veracrypt1
    

    Note the use of the switch -t which instructs VeraCrypt to start in console mode instead of UI mode. The switch --help can be used to get as summary of available command line switches.
