Maximum macOS version should include unreleased/imaginary OS versions
Right now the max macOS version I can select for Big Sur (for example) is 11.6.5. I would like to specify a max version of <12 or 11.99.
For Monterey, I would like to be able to specify <13 or 12.99.

allow download of native SimpleMDM Profiles
Custom Configuration profiles are able to be downloaded from the portal but not profiles that were created in the SimpleMDM portal UI.
As an admin it would be great to be able to download the raw profile from the server for a number of reasons:
1) Documentation
2) Version control
3) Sanity of knowing what is being delivered to systems
4) Save time to not have to find a machine with the profile scoped and parse the output ofprofiles, which isn't the raw profile in it's full either.Thanks,

Add profile.created and profile.deleted webhook events
https://api.simplemdm.com/#webhooks
I am requesting the profile.created and profile.deleted events be added to webhooks. Considering the sensitive nature of profiles, it follows these are events which would be of interest to security and IT teams. For example, if an attacker were to gain access to a SimpleMDM instance and craft a malicious profile.
In our case, most profiles are created through the API. Knowing when a profile is manually created in the web app is an important signal as it could mean someone has maliciously gained access or an impending profile misconfiguration is on the way. We also keep a cache…

Ability to rollout Profiles and Pkgs to shards of devices
The basic idea would be to give each device a shard automatically (but allow it to be overridden) and then be able to set a release schedule for profiles and applications.
For example, on the assign page for a profile, you could select "Shard this assignment" and then be able to select 7 days and have the profile released to (total devices / 7) on each day. Would also need the ability to stop the rollout.
We currently do this in our internal munki with an installable_condition.4 votes -

Allow devices to be marked as unmanaged
Another idea to borrow from Jamf Pro. Please consider allowing SimpleMDM customers to mark devices as unmanaged in order to keep them for historical or data purposes without them actively being under management and NOT taking up a license. An unmanaged device would keep the same config, but not have the ability to interact with MDM moving forward. No profile installs, polling for device info, etc. It is a record stuck in time. Devices should be able to move freely between managed/unmanaged through the GUI and API.
As it today, every device which exists in a SimpleMDM tenant takes up…

Make the "Run recurringly" Script Job be more granular
When scheduling a script job to run recurringly, the only option is for it to run at a specific time of day--essentially, just once for that day. Can we make the hours to run more granular so that we can select multiple hours during the day?

Report on xprotect versions and compare with sofa feed for latest
Report on xprotect and related security components (gatekeeper MRT etc) in dashboard and api. This is a script I’m using to check version and compare using sofa.
https://github.com/macvfx/SimpleChecks/blob/main/XProtect-check-compare-simple.sh
Also see silent knight app from Howard Oakley for an example of the data. https://eclecticlight.co/2025/06/19/the-future-of-silentknight-and-updates-to-xprocheck-and-logui/ — previously i used his silnite binary in scripts to make custom attributes and in sequoia just a simple report script.

Allow for more text formatting options on the enrollment "welcome" screen.
For now, the Welcome screen allows up to 5000 characters of plain text. We've been asked to add a EULA here, and the current plain text formatting is... odd.
Having markdown support, or just better text formatting options here will make our EULA much nicer to look at. Even if no-one will actually read it...

Customise Enterprise WiFi trust
In Apple Configurator 2, there is an option to customise the “Trust” of a Wi-Fi configuration. This allows connecting to an enterprise network (in my case TTLS+PAP) without getting the “Untrusted Certificate” pop-up on iOS.
It would be great to be able to set these fields in the SimpleMDM UI too!
(I actually spent a few days searching why I was getting this pop-up on iOS, and not on macOS; turns out on macOS having the certificate installed in the keychain seems to be enough, but not on macOS…)1 vote -
Send an email to the admin when Apps are automatically updated.
We are switching from VM Ware and the admins are emailed anytime a new version of an VPP App is updated. It's very useful if there is a glitch and the new version app is the cause. Just handy to know the update went out.

Support Classes and Accounts from Apple School Manager
Massive market potential in the K-12 space if support for pulling over classes/users from Apple School Manager was implemented. Your competitors (Airwatch, etc.) do this quite well. We deploy 100's of iPads to classrooms and really like the ability for each cart to have 20 iPads with the user accounts for those classrooms synced from ASM. This would be a game-changer and a feature that is non-existent right now. There is a growing market in the K-12 space looking for this, make it happen!

Purchasing / Lease Tracking

Assign apps directly to devices
Either mdm installed packages, or munki catalogs named by the serial number of the device.
I could currently create assignment groups for each serialnumber but that is tedius. Even if automated, It would still clutter up the assignment groups screen. I'd want to see the device specific catalogs/assignment groups on the device page.
The use case here is the nebula "vpn" client which needs a per host certificate. I was thinking of delivering these host specific certs by .pkg

Extend the included Device fields via the CVS download option
Appears to be missing a few key fields:
- passcode policy enabled (This is not the same as "firmware password" and btw, a similar field is downloaded but we think it's tied to iOS devices as opposed to Mac OS)
- Firewall enabled
- Mac OS Patch Management enabled
- Anti-virus / Malware enabledYou may recognize these as SOC2 requirements. Would be ideal to run a report / download for all devices with this data included. Thanks!
