DDM Explorer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Jamf DDM Explorer is an app built to help IT administrators learn and understand Appleβs Declarative Device Management framework, allowing users to browse published declaration types compatible for both currently-shipping operating systems, as well as pre-release beta declarations published in available GitHub branches. Use this app for same-day declaration building as soon as documentation is released for available beta operating system versions. Browse and build payloads in a brand-new Declaration Explorer editor for deployment as custom declarations to test devices, and deploy with your device management system for testing. All declaration objects are sourced directly from Appleβs GitHub, allowing for loading pre-release branch documentation, when available. Once declarations are deployed and activated, use the Status Explorer view to view your test deviceβs current declarative status reports, including available status subscriptions. Status documentation is also built in-line with the Status Explorer viewer for reference. Note: Features such as reading a test deviceβs status reports require an integration with Jamf Pro.
Squeez

Squeez helps you reclaim iPhone storage by compressing photos and videos β automatically, privately, and without losing visible quality. ONE-TAP AUTO OPTIMIZE Squeez scans your entire library, identifies what can be compressed, and shows you the exact savings before anything changes. One tap. Done. PHOTOS Convert large photos to HEIC format at high quality. Squeez skips screenshots, Live Photos, and files that are already optimized β so you never compress something twice. VIDEOS Re-encode oversized videos at a smarter bitrate. Squeez calculates the exact target based on your file's real size, not guesses β guaranteeing the output is always smaller than the input. FIND DUPLICATES Detect exact and visually similar duplicate photos. Review them side by side and delete the ones you don't need. MANUAL TOOLS Want more control? Use the Tools tab to compress individual photos or videos at Light, Medium, or Heavy levels. 100% ON-DEVICE Everything happens on your iPhone. No accounts. No uploads. No servers. Your photos never leave your device. PRIVACY FIRST Squeez requires photo library access to analyze and compress your files. That's it. No analytics, no tracking, no data collection of any kind. SMART PROTECTION Already-compressed files are automatically skipped. Squeez won't re-encode a video that's already efficient, protecting your media quality across multiple optimization runs.
