NAND Title Manager, NTM for short, is an application for the Nintendo DSi that allows you to manage titles on your NAND. It can manage titles on both hiyaCFW's SDNAND and your actual internal memory, typically called SysNAND. I have tried my best to make it as safe as possible, however when using in SysNAND mode please exercise caution.

Writing to NAND always has a risk of bricking your console. The risk may be extremely low, but it is there and the more you write to it the higher the chance something goes wrong. The DSi is not known for having a high quality NAND so even if everything is functioning correctly there's a chance your NAND could simply die of overuse. People have bricked while doing official system updates, not many but it has happened.

I strongly encourage using hiyaCFW if you intend to modify your DSi Menu with any degree of frequency or TWiLight Menu++ to easily run your games from the SD card. Either will keep your console much safer than installing and running things from SysNAND as if anything goes wrong you can simply replace the SD card or the files on it.

One way to greatly reduce your risk is to have Unlaunch installed. Unlaunch provides protection from most ways the console could normally brick so as long as it's installed you have a much lower chance of any issues requiring a hardmod to recover from. It also allows for homebrew and out of region DSiWare to be used from the DSi Menu as long as its launcher patches are enabled.
