S.U.P.E.R.M.A.N. optimizes the macOS software upgrade and upgrade experience.
by Kevin M. White
Please use the newest version of super
for the best experience when using or upgrading to macOS 14 Sonoma. Older versions of super
are not tested against macOS 14 Sonoma update/upgrade workflows.
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 or upgrades for both Intel and Apple silicon Mac computers. Deployed using a single script and optional configuration profile, 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 or upgrade experience better for both users and administrators.
Please visit the S.U.P.E.R.M.A.N. Wiki for detailed documentation!
Detailed super
version progress can be found in the Change Log.
You can also join the conversation at the Mac Admins Foundation Slack in channel #super.
