How does Atera handle Mac software deployment?

Atera handles Mac software deployment through the Atera macOS Agent, which integrates with Homebrew (specifically the Cask Tap) as the install and patch manager for Mac applications.

Once the agent is installed, technicians can deploy software on demand to a single Mac or in bulk to many Macs from the Devices page, or automate deployment by adding Software Bundles to IT Automation Profiles.

The same IT Automation Profiles also keep installed Mac software maintained, pulling the latest available version of each app in the bundle on every scheduled run, and Atera’s Homebrew integration can update certain Mac applications regardless of how they were originally installed, which simplifies onboarding mixed Mac fleets.

Profiles handle Mac OS patching through the native macOS Software Update tool, third-party software updates via Homebrew, and scheduled maintenance tasks, so software install, software update, and OS patching all run from one workflow.

Software Bundles are OS-specific, so a Mac bundle stays Mac-only, keeping deployment clean across mixed environments.
