About This App

DiskMaker X is a free utility for macOS that automates the creation of bootable USB installation media for macOS. It simplifies the process of making a bootable installer from a downloaded macOS installer image, allowing users to quickly prepare USB drives for fresh OS installations, Mac repairs, or system recovery without requiring Terminal commands or manual disk preparation.

DiskMaker X is a utility tool rather than a system app, and search results for it are sparse. Because there is no clear evidence of an active native Apple Silicon build and the vendor's recent activity is unknown, you should check the developer's website directly at gete.net to see whether a native version has been released or is in development. If DiskMaker X remains Intel-only, be aware that it will stop functioning entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027) — fewer than 18 months away. For bootable macOS USB creation, modern built-in alternatives exist: you can create a bootable installer by downloading macOS from the App Store and using macOS's native createinstallmedia command-line tool, or third-party tools like Etcher (which ships natively) offer cross-platform burning for ISO files. Contacting the developer to confirm their roadmap before the late 2027 deadline is advisable if you rely on DiskMaker X's user-friendly GUI.
