## What it is
MicroMDM is an open-source Mobile Device Management (MDM) server for Apple devices, built in Go and designed to be API-first so all management actions can be automated. It supports device enrollment via DEP or manual profile installation, command scheduling, and webhooks for processing device responses.

## Use cases
- manage a fleet of macs and ipads from a self-hosted server
- enroll apple devices into mdm via apple dep
- automate device management tasks through an api
- send mdm commands and process device responses with webhooks
- bootstrap mac deployments for enterprise or education
- replace commercial mdm with an open-source alternative

## When to choose
- you need an api-driven, devops-friendly mdm server for apple devices
- you want to self-host device management for macs, iphones, or ipads
- you need DEP-based enrollment and webhook-driven automation
- you prefer open-source and permissively licensed tooling for macadmins workflows

## When to avoid
- you need a project with active long-term support - MicroMDM v1 is in maintenance mode with support ending at the end of 2025
- you should consider NanoMDM and the Nano-suite of projects instead for new deployments
- you need management for non-Apple platforms
- you want a polished GUI-first MDM rather than an API-centric tool
