Patch Desktop
Alectrona Patch is the most flexible and customizable patch management solution for macOS, offering over 80 configurable settings to tailor your patching experience to your organization’s needs. While every setting is thoroughly documented, we know not everyone wants to dig through documentation to get started. That’s why we created Patch Desktop—the ultimate tool for Mac Admins to easily configure Alectrona Patch!
With Patch Desktop, you can quickly build your Alectrona Patch configuration, customize it to your liking, and upload it directly to Jamf Pro or Intune—or export it as a .mobileconfig file for any MDM. You can also preview exactly how your branding will appear to end users, making it easy to fine-tune your configuration before rollout. Whether you’re a seasoned Mac Admin or just starting out, Patch Desktop makes your Alectrona Patch deployment simple and streamlined.
