Jamf Pro ToolProduction Ready
DDM macOS Update Reminder
A Swift-based macOS binary delivering prominent, configurable end-user notifications for Apple's Declarative Device Management (DDM) enforced macOS updates.
About This Project
This tool addresses a key limitation in Apple's DDM system—its built-in update notifications are too subtle. The project provides an alternative notification system using swiftDialog, entirely configurable through Jamf Configuration Profiles without requiring script redeployment.
Key Features
Configuration Profile driven - all settings managed via Jamf
Self-healing schedule with watcher daemon auto-sync
Flexible deferrals that decrease toward deadline
Meeting awareness - delays notifications during presentations
Health monitoring via Extension Attributes
Self-managing LaunchDaemon
Unified logging with native macOS logging
Requirements
- macOS 12.0+ (Monterey or later)
- Jamf Pro or compatible MDM
- Apple Silicon or Intel Mac
- swiftDialog (auto-installed if enabled)
