🎉 The first release of writer! Writer is a tiny lightweight alternative to Etcher for flashing ISOs to USBs. It works on Linux (and macOS, somewhat). Windows support is planned later.

This alpha release is fairly stable so far. However, the game isn't over yet, hence this is an alpha release.

  • macOS privilege escalation is not yet there.
  • Revamped user interface is in the works.
  • No testing done on macOS yet.

Future issues to be tackled before or after 1.0 include Windows ISO flashing support and written image validation.

How to Use

  • macOS: Download the tar.xz, extract the writer file, put it in Downloads, open a terminal and run chmod +x ~/Downloads/writer and sudo ~/Downloads/writer. This is a temporary workaround until privilege escalation for macOS is complete.
  • Linux: Download the tar.xz, extract and run! You may need to mark as executable using chmod +x writer or in Right Click -> Properties.
