iBoot pins Startup Disk to your menu bar so you can switch systems quickly and safely—one click at a time.
Why iBoot?
- Trusted path — Opens the native macOS Startup Disk panel—no hidden scripts or risky shortcuts.
- Menu bar muscle memory — Summon Startup Disk instantly and enable geek mode for a single-click jump.
- Dual-boot ready — Built for Intel Macs with Boot Camp; Apple silicon Macs are not supported.
Advanced Usage
In geek mode, you can reach the destination with one click on the icon, but you will lose access to the pull-down menu.
There is no entry for the geek mode in the GUI due to the Apple Review Guideline, however you can open Terminal and type the following command to enable geek mode.
defaults write top.mightycounty.BootCampSwitcher geekmode true
Or you can type the following command to disable geek mode.
defaults write top.mightycounty.BootCampSwitcher geekmode false
Changes to geekmode will take effect after the next launch.
Additionally, you can type sudo killall iBoot to quit iBoot if you can’t find a quit button.
Get Windows 11
The smoothest path is upgrading from Windows 10 with a Windows 11 image. Run the TPM bypass script before launching the installer. Read the full guide.
Known Issues
Missing disk?
The Startup Disk panel sometimes hides drives. Click the empty area where a disk should be—the prompt usually updates and reveals it.
iBoot not opening?
Reported by under 1% of users. In every case I reviewed, the menu bar icon had appeared but went unnoticed. If you still hit an issue, send your About This Mac screenshot and a short demo video so I can investigate.
