  • Mist

    A Mac utility that automatically downloads macOS Firmwares / Installers. (by ninxsoft)

  • You have other issues you probably need to investigate, however, download the updates using MIST.

  • DownloadFullInstaller

    macOS application written in SwiftUI that downloads installer pkgs for the Install macOS Big Sur application.

  • Download Full Installer.app shows both releases. They’re visible on a new M2 and an older Intel MacBook, which is really a front end for “softwareupdate —fetch-full-installer” or —list-full-installers something like that, I forget exactly.
