Munki is an open-source set of tools for managed software installation on macOS, pairing a webserver-based package repository with client-side agents to automate installs and removals. Originally created by Walt Disney Animation Studios, it is widely used by organizations to manage software on tens of thousands of Macs.

Use cases

  • deploy software to managed macs
  • automate macos software installs across a fleet
  • manage apple software updates on macs
  • remove unwanted applications from macos clients
  • self-host a software repository for mac administration
  • install drag-and-drop apps and apple packages remotely

When to avoid

  • you need full MDM features like device enrollment, encryption, or compliance policies
  • your fleet is Windows or Linux only
  • you want a turnkey hosted SaaS deployment tool with no server setup
