rEFInd is a boot manager for UEFI and EFI-based machines.[2][3] It can be used to boot multiple operating systems that are installed on a single non-volatile device. It also provides a way to launch UEFI applications.[4][5]
It was forked from discontinued rEFIt in 2012, with 0.2.0 as its first release.[6][7]
rEFind supports the IA-32, x86-64, and AArch64 architectures.
