If you have ever attempted to boot off of a corrupted card then you certainly know the frustration, this stripped down utility is designed with a simple UI that allows quick and easy image burning. It also includes validation so no surprises at boot time.

balenaEtcher for macOS fully subscribes to K.I.S.S format making operation easy for any skill level; select your image, the drive, and then hit Flash! and you are done. It fully supports ISO, BZ2, DMG, DSK, ETCH, GZ, HDDIMG, IMG, RAW, XZ, and ZIP. The app is the Easiest Way to Make a Raspberry Pi SD Card!

Beautiful Interface
Who said burning SD cards has to be an eyesore.
