Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Gregory, the maker of RebootTo. If you test macOS developer betas, maintain separate APFS containers for work and personal setups, or dual-boot different macOS versions on your Apple Silicon Mac, you know how clunky the switching process is. Every time you want to switch boot drives, macOS forces you to open System Settings, drill down into General > Startup Disk, authenticate with your admin credentials, select the disk, and confirm a reboot. Or you have to power down and hold the power button to reach Startup Options. A decade ago utilities like BootChamp handled this on Intel Macs, but they disappeared with Apple Silicon and modern macOS security changes. I built RebootTo to bring 1-click startup disk switching back to modern macOS: ⚡ 1-Click Startup Disk Switching — Sits discreetly in your menu bar and Dock, instantly displaying all bootable APFS volumes. 🔀 Temporary One-Time Reboot — Bless a secondary or beta partition for the next boot only. When you restart again, your Mac automatically returns to your primary daily driver without touching any settings! ⌨️ Dual Global Shortcuts — Press ⌥⌘R to toggle the menu bar popover, or ⌃⌥⌘R to trigger an instant safety-confirmed restart from anywhere. ⏱️ 5-Second Safety Countdown — An interactive cancelable countdown modal prevents accidental reboots. 🧹 Graceful App Closing — Automatically closes running user applications before rebooting so unsaved dialogs don't block the restart. 🛡️ Apple Silicon Native & Secure — Built exclusively for M1/M2/M3/M4 Macs with native ARM64 speed. Signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple with hardened runtime. Pricing & Availability: RebootTo comes with a full 7-day free trial so you can test it on your setup risk-free. If you love it, it’s a one-time purchase of $4.99 USD for a lifetime license — no subscriptions! I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and feature requests. I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer your questions!
