Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionDiskMaker X version 5.0.3 is an AppleScript-based application that runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs through Rosetta 2 emulation. However, the developer has not yet released a native Apple Silicon or Universal Binary version as of the latest available information. The app does not appear to have active development or recent updates. For users needing a native alternative, consider using the built-in macOS recovery tools (Recovery Mode) or the command-line `createinstallmedia` utility that Apple includes with installer apps. Alternatively, the open-source DiskMaker Desktop project (available on GitHub) may offer a more actively maintained option, though its stability and feature parity should be verified before switching.
