About Nudge
Nudge is a tool for Mac administrators that encourages users to install macOS security updates. It shows a multilingual prompt with custom deferral options that the administrator configures, and keeps reminding the user until the required update is installed.
It is deployed and configured by an organisation's device management setup, and the repository includes a Jamf configuration schema. The project is developed in the open under the macadmins GitHub organisation, with discussion in the macadmins Slack #nudge channel.
