#### Restore Apple Silicon Macs with one click

RestoreKit lets you fully wipe or restore a T2 or M series mac without
using any apple tools. Plug the target mac into your host's DFU port,
put it in DFU mode (automatic DFU only works from a macOS host), and
restore.

This snap needs raw USB access to talk to the device:

```
 sudo snap connect restorekit:raw-usb
```
