RufusMac 0.1.0 (Intel Mac)

RufusMac 0.1.0 — Intel Mac (x86_64)

Ready-to-run .dmg for Intel Macs, based on upstream h4rithd/RufusMac 0.1.0. Upstream targets Apple Silicon / macOS 26; this fork restores Intel and macOS 14/15.

Intel fork packaging, UI fallback, docs, and this release were reworked with Cursor. Upstream RufusMac was built with help from Claude Code.

Scope & maintenance

This is a best-effort fork. Support is not guaranteed. Tracking upstream and publishing newer Intel builds may lag or stop. Prefer upstream on Apple Silicon.

Download

• RufusMac-0.1.0-mac-intel-X64.dmg — drag RufusMac.app to Applications
  Unsigned build: on first open, right-click → Open.

Verify: shasum -a 256 RufusMac-0.1.0-mac-intel-X64.dmg vs the published .sha256.

Requirements

• Intel (x86_64) Mac only — no Apple Silicon slice
• macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later (most Intel Macs on 15 are fine)
• Liquid Glass UI on macOS 26+; material fallback on 14/15

What’s in this release

• Forced x86_64-only packaging (scripts/build_app.sh refuses fat/arm64)
• Deployment floor 14.0; build still needs the macOS 26 SDK
• UI compatibility layer (GlassCompatibility) for 14/15
• Full feature set from upstream 0.1.0 (Windows/Linux USB, Win11 bypass, catalog, dry-run, rmctl, …)

Features (from upstream)

• Smart USB detection (external/removable only)
• Single ISO / DD / Multiboot (experimental) / Reclaim
• Windows 11 TPM / Secure Boot / online-account bypass
• Large install.wim → .swm split
• Checksums, ISO catalog, command preview / dry-run
• rmctl CLI companion

Notes

• Windows / Multiboot may need third-party tools (scripts/fetch_thirdparty.sh) if not bundled in your build
• Prefer upstream on Apple Silicon
