SplashBuddy

SplashBuddy goal is to provide an elegant and secure onboarding process for Mac users using DEP.

It allows you to:

• Prevent your users from using their Mac before the minimum software is installed
• Provide status on the software that is currently being installed
• Display important information

It currently supports Jamf Pro, Munki and install.log (VPP) as source of informations. You’re welcome to contribute to the project. Every little helps.
