Apple @ Work: DDM OS Reminder 2.0 fixes the biggest flaw in Declarative Device Management software updates - 9to5Mac

▤ Summary

DDM OS Reminder 2.0 improves macOS Declarative Device Management (DDM) by filling the gap left by Apple's subtle native update notifications. The tool runs locally, watches install logs, and uses swiftDialog to present intelligently intrusive alerts—detecting meetings before interrupting users and offering a clear countdown to enforced restarts. Version 2.0 adds Configuration Profile support so admins can manage settings via .mobileconfig, a Demo Mode for testing notifications, and tighter, seconds-based blur-screen logic for final alerts. The author notes a forthcoming 3.0 alpha with multilingual support and points readers to the developer's site for more details.
