Cross-platform Rufus and Etcher alternative
Create bootable USB drives.
Find and download images from DistroWatch. Write them from the GUI, TUI, or Omarchy bar. Verify the drive after writing.

Safety
Drive checks and verification
Before erasure
- Only whole USB-attached or explicitly removable disks.
- Fixed, system, read-only, undersized, and partition targets rejected.
- Source, drive, operations, and data loss shown before confirmation.
- Drive identity checked again before writing.
After writing
- Exact written range read back and compared with SHA-256.
- Compressed sources compared after expansion.
- Windows boot files, payloads, WIM parts, and FAT32 limits checked.
- Failed or cancelled drives marked incomplete.
Verification checks bytes or Windows media files. It does not test installation.
Safety design →Features
Supported files and tools
- Raw and compressedISO, IMG, RAW, XZ, gzip, Zstandard, and bzip2; expanded size measured before review
- Windows installersGPT or MBR, FAT32, split WIM, ten setup choices, boot-tree audit
- Download integrityMD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512; mismatch blocks writing
- Drive toolsBad-block and fake-capacity checks; RAW backup on Linux and macOS
Interfaces
Same features in the GUI and TUI
TUIMouse + keyboard
Both interfaces use the same write plan and helper.
- Same labels, order, and options
- Same progress and cancellation
- Same errors, recovery, and retries
Administrator access
Only the write helper is elevated
The GUI, TUI, downloads, catalog, and image parser run as the current user. A fixed helper gets administrator access after you approve a write.
