## What it is
ProfileCreator is a macOS desktop application for creating standard or customized Apple configuration profiles (.mobileconfig). It uses payload manifests from the ProfileManifests project to guide profile construction.

## Use cases
- create a .mobileconfig configuration profile for macOS devices
- customize MDM payloads before deploying to managed Macs
- generate Wi-Fi or certificate payload profiles without hand-editing XML
- build custom configuration profiles for testing MDM deployments
- edit existing configuration profiles with a GUI

## When to choose
- you administer Macs and need to author or customize configuration profiles
- you want a GUI instead of hand-writing plist/XML profile payloads
- you need to preview and validate payloads before MDM deployment

## When to avoid
- you need to manage non-Apple platforms or Windows Group Policy
- you require full MDM server functionality rather than profile creation
- you need automated bulk profile generation via CLI or API
