First public release of rufus4mac — a macOS-native bootable-USB writer (a Rufus-style tool for Mac).

Features

  • Linux / general images (raw/DD): write .iso/.img/.dmg to a USB with live progress and post-write SHA-256 verification (toggleable).
  • Windows 10/11 install USB: auto-detects a Windows ISO, formats GPT/FAT32, copies the ISO, and splits install.wim > 4 GB into install.swm (bundled wimlib) so it boots via UEFI. Optional Windows 11 compatibility bypass (TPM/Secure Boot/RAM/CPU/Storage).
  • No background daemon, no Full Disk Access — the privileged write goes through Apple's authopen with a one-time authorization prompt. Removable-disk formatting uses diskutil (no password).
  • Internal/system disks are never offered as targets.

Install

Open the DMG, drag RufusApp to Applications. macOS 13+, Apple Silicon or Intel.
Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple — launches without Gatekeeper warnings.

Notes

  • Writing erases the entire target disk.
  • The Windows-USB path has not yet been validated on physical hardware end-to-end (see docs/manual-test-checklist.md); the core engine has 43 automated tests including real-device (hdiutil) integration.
