Welcome to a collection of valuable scripts designed for Mac administrators. These scripts assist in performing a variety of tasks on macOS machines. Created with deployment in mind, they work seamlessly with Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions like Intune, Jamf, and Kandji. Most scripts are adaptable for both local and remote execution via SSH. Some may require pre-existing software such as SwiftDialog, JamfHelper, Xcode, or AppleScript, and can be customized to fit specific needs.
Sharing tools and scripts is essential in the Mac admin community. Many of these scripts are adaptations or combinations of existing ones, and others are original creations. Feel free to modify, request, or contribute your own scripts. After all, it’s all about collaboration and community support.

Finds expired certificates in the login and System keychains, backs them up, and removes them. Runs as a Self Service item (the user reviews a checklist and confirms) or fully headless with no prompt.
Gathers log files from across the Mac (including Jamf, App Auto-Patch, and Installomator logs), zips them up, and drops the archive on the user's Desktop — ready to attach to a support ticket. Shows live progress and reveals the file in Finder.
