What is ApplePi-Baker v2?
ApplePi-Baker v2 is a free macOS application (64-bit and signed) to create backups and do restores of disk drives. Restore can even be done to multiple disks at once.
The application utilizes libarchive to support a wide range of archive and compression formats (7Zip, BZip, dd, GZip, IMG, ISO, Jar, LZip, Rar, Tar, Tar BZip2, Tar GZip, Tar LZip, Tar XZ, XZ and Zip).
Further more, ApplePi-Baker fully relies on Apple DiskArbitration API calls and callbacks, and is build comfort Apple’s Secure Coding Guidelines to Elevate Privileges Safely, which makes entering SUDO passwords something from the past.
Additional extensive disk information can be viewed, and extra disk functions are included. For Raspberry Pi users, the option to enable SSH and create NOOBS disk are included as well.
In version 2.1.0 the option to shrink or expand a Linux partition (shrink during backup, expand during restore) has been added. Similar to what Linux user can do with "Shrink Pi" and similar scripts.
Dark Theme, Bouncing Dock icon, notifications and progress indication in the dock are supported as well.

simple easy to use creating OS systems form .img files for Raspberry Pi on mac
It does not work at all. Software crashes when I try to start it.
macOS Monterey on macbook pro 2019.
It does a great job at its intended use.
So it's free, easy to use, reliable...I use it to backup SD-cards. (I have a hard time coming up with alternatives (for Mac), other than dd). Added it to my 'must-have-essential-tools'.
Makes Raspberry Pi and Macs work together.
This is fantastic software! Very easy to use and works every time.
it solves the need to use command line on Mac
