rEFInd is a fork of the rEFIt boot manager. Like rEFIt, rEFInd can auto-detect your installed EFI boot loaders, and it presents a pretty GUI menu of boot options.

rEFInd goes beyond rEFIt in that rEFInd better handles systems with many boot loaders, gives better control over the boot loader search process, and allows users to define their boot loader entries.

rEFInd Features:

Support for EFI 1.x and UEFI 2.x computers

Support for Mac and PC platforms

Graphical and text-mode boot selector

Auto-detection of available EFI boot loaders

Directly launch Linux 3.3.0 and later kernels with EFI stub loader support

Maintenance-free Linux kernel updates -- boot-time auto-detection means that no configuration file changes are needed after a kernel update

Manually edit boot-time options

Launch EFI programs such as an EFI shell (available from third parties)

Launch OS X and Windows recovery tools

Reboot into the firmware setup utility (on some UEFIs)

Try before installation via a CD-R or USB flash drive image

Secure Boot support (requires separate shim or PreLoader program)

Includes EFI drivers for ext2/3fs, ext4fs, ReiserFS, Btrfs, HFS+, NTFS, and ISO-9660

Editor's Note:
MajorGeeks mirrors are the bootable flash drive files for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
