About:
Nudge is a macOS application designed to compel users to upgrade their operating system to the latest supported version. It presents a customizable window that remains in the foreground, requiring interaction before it can be dismissed, ensuring compliance with organizational security policies.
Key Features:
  • Enforced UI that prevents users from minimizing or closing the update prompt
  • Highly customizable user interface and messaging via JSON configuration
  • Supports multiple update types (OS, Rapid Security Response)
  • Integrates with MDM solutions for centralized policy management
Use Cases:
  • Enterprise IT teams enforcing OS compliance across managed Mac fleets
  • Reducing security vulnerabilities by ensuring systems are on the latest OS version
Alternatives:
  • macOS Software Update – Native tool lacks enforced UI and granular policy control
  • Munki – Broader package manager that can handle updates but is less focused on enforced UI
