Kext Wizard For Mac

Kernel extensions can be employed to extend the current capabilities of your current operating system. Kext Wizard is a simple Mac app that offers you the possibility to manage and install kernel extensions (kext files) via an intuitive and user friendly GUI.

The Kext Wizard utility installs like most Mac apps, by simply dragging and dropping its icon in the Applications directory. By default, Kext Wizard is running in system version independent mode, but via the Extra menu you can select a specific operating system (10.4 through Mojave are supported).

You can access the Kext Wizard’s capabilities by navigating different tabs that are contained in the app’s main window. The panels have self explanatory names (Maintenance, Installation, Unpacker, Kext Info, and Loaded) and you can switch between them by using unsophisticated keyboard combinations.

Kext Wizard is able to repair the permissions and rebuild the cache for the kernel extension that are installed in the Extra and in the System/Library/Extensions folders. Note that you can manually select the target disk.

The utility offers you the possibility to view the architecture and dependencies of any kernel extension, to install Kext files, or to check and unpack Mkext contents. Lastly, you have the option to see a complete list with all the kernel extensions that are currently loaded and export it to a text file.

Kext Wizard proposes a minimalist graphical user interface that enables you to effortlessly manage kext files in an intuitive manner: you can repair permissions, rebuild cache, install new extensions, or unpack Mkext contents.

Moreover, the app can provide architecture and dependencies details for a user selected kext, and creates a list will all loaded kexts.
