Facts

Purpose
Wingman creates bootable Windows 10 or 11 USB installers from an ISO on macOS.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
Native app
It is a native SwiftUI app distributed as a signed and notarized DMG.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
Windows detection
Wingman identifies the Windows release and editions from the selected ISO.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
WIM splitting
Its pure-Swift splitter divides install.wim into parts that fit FAT32, without external libraries or codecs.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
Windows 11 option
An optional Windows 11 toggle bypasses TPM, Secure Boot, RAM, and CPU checks while leaving Setup interactive.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
Platform requirements
Wingman requires macOS 13 Ventura or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
USB requirement
A USB stick of at least 8 GB is required, and creating the installer erases the selected drive.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
ISO limitation
The ISO must contain a standard install.wim; consumer ISOs using solid-compressed install.esd are unsupported.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
Boot target
The resulting USB boots PCs; the maker states it cannot boot a Windows installer on an Apple Silicon or Intel Mac.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
Privilege design
Only disk partitioning and formatting run with root privileges; device enumeration, ISO mounting, copying, and WIM splitting run unprivileged.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
Safety controls
Wingman lists external removable drives and excludes the internal or startup disk, with the helper revalidating the target before erasing.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
Windows media
Users provide their own Windows ISO; Wingman says it does not distribute, bundle, or host Microsoft software.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
License and warranty
The project is GPL-3.0 and is provided as is without warranty.github.com · 10 Oct 2026
