wInstaller

Why I built this

Creating a Windows or Linux installer USB usually means a brittle chain of Terminal commands: find the right disk, erase it, mount an ISO, copy files, split oversized Windows images, and hope the result actually boots. One mistake and you've erased the wrong drive, or produced media that looks complete but doesn't work.

wInstaller exists to make that workflow feel like a first-party assistant instead of a shell script you're afraid to run. It explains what it found, asks before anything destructive happens, validates the result, and never leaves this machine.

"Destructive actions are sacred. The app must slow down, name the selected drive, show capacity and identifier, and require explicit confirmation." — from wInstaller's design principles

• Native first. No cross-platform UI framework, ever — SwiftUI on macOS, WinUI on Windows, GTK on Linux.
• Local trust. No telemetry, no uploads, no remote processing, no vague "optimizing" language.
• Automation with consent. The app automates repetitive work but never executes a destructive operation without an explicit confirmation.
• Explain while doing. When a constraint appears — like a Windows image too large for FAT32 — wInstaller explains it at the moment it matters.
