Nudge is an open-source, third-party application created by the MacAdmin’s Slack Community that prompts users to install updates using built in Apple methods: System Preferences/System Settings > Software Update or standalone macOS installer (note: for major upgrades using the installer, users must be admin users. Standard macOS users will not be able to run the installer).

Custom user deferrals are offered so that the user can update the computer with the built-in macOS UI when it is convenient for them while not sacrificing putting off the update entirely.

Nudge documentation for deploying with Jamf Pro can be found on Github. Some example simple deployments are provided below:
