About This App

ApplePiBaker is a free utility that simplifies writing Raspberry Pi operating system images (such as Raspberry Pi OS, LibreELEC, RetroPie) to SD cards on macOS. It provides a graphical interface for selecting an image file, choosing a target SD card, and writing the image without requiring command-line tools. Users can also verify written images and eject the card safely. The app is popular with hobbyists, educators and Raspberry Pi enthusiasts who prefer a straightforward GUI over terminal-based tools like dd or etcher.

ApplePiBaker is currently Intel-only and has not yet been updated to support Apple Silicon. The search results confirm version 2.2.3 (the latest available) contains only x86-64 code. While the app continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (scheduled for September 2028), at which point this app will stop launching entirely. Contact the developer at tweaking4all.com to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned before that deadline. In the meantime, if you need to write Raspberry Pi images to SD cards, consider alternatives like Balena Etcher or the Raspberry Pi Imager — both run natively on Apple Silicon and offer similar functionality through a straightforward graphical interface.
