rEFInd is a boot menu and maintenance toolkit for UEFI-based machines like Windows 8+ PCs and Intel Macs. It can be used to boot multiple operating systems. It also provides a way to enter and explore the EFI pre-boot environment.[1][2][3]

rEFInd is the active fork of the now-abandoned rEFIt and the default EFI boot manager for TrueOS.
