About Caligula

Caligula is a lightweight terminal interface for writing disk image files to disks. It runs through a caligula burn command and asks where to write when no output disk is supplied. It runs on Linux and macOS. Automated builds cover x86_64 and aarch64 on both systems, but full tests are listed only for Linux x86_64 and macOS support is described as very limited.

Pricing is not clearly stated.

Key features

  • Lists attached disks with size and hardware model information
  • Decompresses input with gz, bz2, xz, lz4 and zst options
  • Validates input file against a hash before burning
  • Runs sudo, doas or su when root permission is needed
  • Verifies disk after writing
