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.

  • One-click bootable macOS USB creation
  • Legacy OS X support (PowerPC/Intel)
