Easy patch management on macOS - zero packaging required
Security vulnerabilities get closed as soon as updates are available - not when someone has time to package them. End users get updates that never interrupt their work. Admins get an environment that runs like they want. And countless hours your team spends custom packaging and deploying updates are eliminated.

The median time to exploit a new vulnerability is under 5 days. The average enterprise takes 60 to 150 days to remediate. Automated patching eliminates the packaging delays and admin bottlenecks that keep that gap open.
Updates your users won't fight
Admin sets the catalog and update policy once. From there, apps stay current across the fleet. If an app isn't running, the update happens silently. If it is, the user gets a clear prompt with the option to defer. No surprise interruptions, no tickets, no chasing down machines.
Custom branding
Make the update experience yours. Customize notification language, branding, and deferral prompts so updates look and feel like they come from your organization - not an external tool.
Alectrona Patch maintains a continuous record of update status, deferral history, and version compliance across your fleet. When auditors ask how quickly patches are applied and whether you can prove it - the answer is already built.
Validated before it installs
Every update is cryptographically verified against the developer's code signature before installation proceeds. Unsigned or modified binaries are rejected automatically.
Defense built in
Software supply chain attacks target legitimate update channels to deliver malicious payloads. On-the-fly signature validation creates a verification layer between the vendor and the endpoint. If a binary has been tampered with, it doesn't reach the Mac.
