About MacAdmin Pulse

A neutral directory of open-source Mac admin tools that shows whether each project is still maintained. No vendor pays for placement and there are no affiliate links.

How health is scored

MDM scope

Read from each README and description: Jamf-only or Intune-only when the tool is named for that MDM and no other is mentioned; Multi-MDM when several MDMs or MDM-agnostic wording appear; No MDM tie when the README names no MDM; Unverified when it's unclear. We don't guess.

Stats come from the public GitHub API and release feeds. "Stale" doesn't mean broken; some finished tools rarely need changes.
