ApplePi-Baker For Mac

ApplePi-Baker is a minimalist application that can help you flash an IMG file to an SD card or a USB drive. The utility can also transform the devices into a Raspberry Pi’s NOOBS disk, backup the IMGs, and quickly restore them whenever you see fit.

Right off the bat, ApplePi-Baker prompts you for the administrator password and then proceeds to scan for connected USB drives or SD cards. You get to see the complete list in the app’s main window, together with details of size and type for each entry.

Note that ApplePi-Baker integrates disk ejecting capabilities and allows you to manually refresh the list in order to view the latest changes.

If you choose to prepare any of the disks for a Raspberry Pi NOOBS installation, the utility will completely erase the disk in order to create a single FAT32 partition. You will get to monitor the progress in the ApplePi-Baker main window, and receive a confirmation message when everything is done.

Within the ApplePi-Baker main window, you can also choose to flash an IMG file to your SD card or USB disk, regardless if it is compressed or not. The utility is able to work with IMG or ISO files, or IMG archives that are compressed using the ZIP, 7Z, GZip, or GZ format.

At the same time, you can also use ApplePi-Baker to quickly backup your removable devices and produce IMG or ISO files. Moreover, ApplePi-Baker can also generate ZIP, 7Zip, or GZip compressed IMG archives with the same ease.

To sum up, ApplePi-Baker represents an alternative solution to dealing with creating bootable USBs or SD cards.

The ApplePi-Baker utility allows you to flash the image to the removable disks, helps you backup the disks and restore them on a different device, and can be used to create a disk suitable for Raspberry Pi’s NOOBS.
