S.U.P.E.R.M.A.N. optimizes the macOS software update experience.
by Kevin M. White
S.U.P.E.R.M.A.N. (or just super
) is an open source script that provides administrators with a comprehensive workflow to encourage and enforce macOS software updates for both Intel and Apple silicon Mac computers. Deployed using a single script, super
creates a background agent (aka LaunchDaemon) that ensures software updates are applied with the least user interference possible. Further, super
can also enforce software updates with options for customizable deferrals and deadlines. In other words, super
makes the macOS update experience better for both users and administrators.
Please visit the S.U.P.E.R.M.A.N. Wiki for detailed documentation!
UPGRADE NOTICE: You should avoid using any version of super
prior to version 3.0b4 on macOS 12.3 or newer.
Detailed update information can be found on both the Change Log and Releases pages.
You can also join the conversation at the Mac Admins Foundation Slack in channel #super.
