PocketMDM brings Apple Mobile Device Management to Shortcuts. Connect Apple Business, Apple School Manager, Jamf Pro, Jamf School, and Microsoft Intune, then build powerful automations for the MDM tasks you perform every day — directly from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Vision Pro. Query device inventory. Look up device details. Retrieve warranty information. Work with LAPS credentials. Check Declarative Device Management status. Send management commands. Assign devices. Combine results with other apps and actions in Shortcuts to build workflows tailored to the way you manage Apple devices. BUILT FOR MAC ADMINS PocketMDM gives the Mac Admin access to their device management platforms through native Shortcuts actions. Instead of opening multiple management consoles for routine tasks, build a Shortcut once and run it whenever you need it. Actions return structured data that can be filtered, formatted, passed between actions, written to files, displayed to users, or used by other apps supporting Shortcuts. Use PocketMDM to build workflows for: • Device inventory and information • Device assignment and management • Warranty and coverage information • Declarative Device Management status • Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) workflows
• Device management commands • User and group information • Authentication and access tokens …and much more! PocketMDM continues to expand with additional actions and platform capabilities. SUPPORTED PLATFORMS • Apple Business • Apple School Manager • Jamf Pro
• Jamf School • Microsoft Intune CONNECT ONCE. AUTOMATE ANYWHERE. Configure your platform connection in PocketMDM and use it across your Shortcuts. Credentials are securely stored on-device using Apple Keychain. PocketMDM handles authentication for supported platforms and can reuse valid access tokens until they expire, reducing unnecessary authentication requests when your Shortcuts run. For additional privacy, access to platform settings can be protected using Face ID, Touch ID, or Optic ID where supported. START FOR FREE PocketMDM is free to download and lets you configure one connection for each supported platform, with access to the corresponding "Get an Access Token" action. Use those tokens with Shortcuts’ built-in “Get Contents of URL” action to create your own API requests, automations, and workflows at no cost. It’s a flexible way to start automating your MDM environment with Shortcuts, while PocketMDM Pro unlocks additional connections and ready-to-use actions. GO FURTHER WITH POCKETMDM PRO PocketMDM Pro unlocks the complete library of available Shortcuts actions and removes connection limits, giving you the flexibility to work across multiple servers, tenants, and organizations. Connect production and test environments. Manage multiple customers. Build workflows that select the appropriate connection at runtime. Take advantage of new Pro actions as PocketMDM continues to grow. PocketMDM Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription or as a one-time lifetime purchase. BUILD WORKFLOWS, NOT JUST LOOKUPS PocketMDM actions are designed to work with the rest of the Shortcuts ecosystem. Retrieve a Jamf Pro LAPS password and generate a QR code. Look up a device by serial number and format its information for a technician. Retrieve device data and write it to a file. Query an MDM platform and use the result to determine what your Shortcut should do next. PocketMDM provides the building blocks. Shortcuts lets you decide what happens next. PocketMDM is an independent application and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple, Jamf, or Microsoft. Privacy Policy:
