What is DiskMaker X?

The DiskMaker X utility enables users to create bootable installation media for various macOS and OS X versions. This versatile application, built with AppleScript, simplifies the process of transforming the downloaded macOS installer into a fully functional bootable drive. Upon launching the program, it automatically locates the relevant OS installer using Spotlight, and then guides the user through the steps to construct a bootable drive that closely matches the appearance of the original installer. This streamlined approach allows users to easily create installation media, which can then be employed to perform a complete reinstallation of the operating system on a freshly formatted drive or to install the OS on multiple Mac computers without the need to repeatedly download the full installer
