About:
QuickBoot is a system utility designed to manage multiple boot configurations on macOS, allowing users to select and switch between different operating systems or kernel versions at startup. It simplifies the process of dual-booting or testing different system environments by providing a graphical interface for boot selection. The tool is particularly valuable for developers and power users who need to frequently alternate between macOS versions or boot into Windows via Boot Camp.

Key Features:

Graphical boot menu for selecting operating systems at startup
Support for multiple macOS versions and Boot Camp partitions
Customizable boot parameters and default selection settings
Simple interface for managing boot disk preferences

Use Cases:

Dual-booting between different macOS versions for software compatibility testing
Quickly switching between macOS and Windows partitions via Boot Camp
Managing boot options for development and testing environments

Alternatives:

rEFInd – rEFInd is a more advanced boot manager with broader platform support, while QuickBoot offers a simpler macOS-focused interface
System Preferences Startup Disk – Built-in macOS tool provides basic boot selection but lacks QuickBoot's advanced features and customization options
