MacUSB
Creating bootable macOS and OS X USB drives has never been easier
macUSB is a macOS utility that streamlines the creation of bootable USB installers for macOS and legacy OS X versions, taking the complexity out of preparing installation media on modern Apple Silicon or Intel Macs. It automates disk formatting, installer detection, and content writing so that you can revive or install operating systems on older hardware—something that has become more difficult since Apple’s transition to its own silicon. With support for handling various disk image formats and applying necessary fixes for installers with older certificates, macUSB demystifies what was once a command-line-intensive process. Its goal is to make preparing bootable media accessible to users of all skill levels by intelligently managing installer images and systems, giving Mac users a straightforward path to restore or reinstall macOS across generations. -

MicroFormat
A Windows Format Tool for USB and Physical volumes
A simple Windows tool that can format USB or physical volumes to either NTFS or FAT32. It supports custom Volume names and quick formatting. Done out of boredom and curiosity for practicing purposes. The program will refuse to format the Windows partition. Because the Windows partition is not always C, the check is not hard-coded. Rather, I perform a comparison between the currently selected volume to format and the known System volume. If they match, I trip a flag. -

Iso2Usb
A cross platform application to create bootable media from ISO images
You can create linux distribution, Windows bootable devices with target system as UFEI or BIOS. The project is highly inspired by Rufus which is written in C++. The windows version is written in C# and Linux with JavaFx. My main reason to create this project is to learn these languages and to practically understand how they work, such type of project inspired me a lot. Iso2Usb is bit faster than Rufus, I guess with only 8 seconds difference (tested with Elementary OS Juno). -

windows-bootable-usb-creator for Linux
Script to create bootable Windows Setup USB drives
Command-line script to create bootable Windows Setup USB drives with, to install Windows. You'll need a Windows ISO and a USB drive. See the README for more information. Similar to Rufus. Technically, the script works the same as Rufus (a tool for Windows). We even use the official UEFI NTFS driver developed by Pete Batard, the Rufus developer. This script allows you to create a bootable Windows Setup USB drive based on a Windows installation ISO, even if the ISO contains an "install.wim" file larger than 4 GB (something which is not possible on FAT32). This is a POSIX-compatible Unix shell script and is intended to be used on a Linux system.
