  • Mac-Set-Default-Apps

    A utility to change default applications in macOS

    • We use Mac-Set-Default-Apps script to set Adobe Reader as default PDF viewer, Chrome as default browser, and Outlook as default mail and calendar clients via a custom script in Mosyle MDM.

  • SwiftDefaultApps

    Replacement for RCDefaultApps, written in Swift.

    • I use SwiftDefaultApps for adding a prefpane for users because I heard other methods were abandoned by their developers.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • relocatable-python

    A tool for building standalone relocatable Python.framework bundles

    • In the short term, you can deploy your own Python 2 framework using something like Relocatable Python and then modify the shebang to point to that.
