Nudge is a free, open-source macOS update management application designed to encourage users to install important operating system updates and security patches. Built with Swift and SwiftUI, the software provides customizable notifications and reminders that help IT administrators keep Mac computers updated and compliant with organizational security policies. Nudge allows administrators to establish update deadlines, configure reminder frequencies, and provide users with flexible deferral options before updates become urgent. The application supports multilingual interfaces, customizable messaging, and different notification layouts to accommodate diverse organizations and user preferences. Nudge 2.0 introduces automated update management using the Simple Organized Feed for Apple Software Updates (SOFA), allowing the application to identify available macOS releases and manage update requirements with less manual configuration.
