To check the installation status of an app on a computer in Jamf Now, click Devices > the computer > Mac Apps.

  • A green "Installed" status means the app was successfully installed on the device from Jamf Now.

  • A black "Installed" status means the app was not installed by Jamf Now, but was already manually added to the device by the end user.

Note:

Jamf Now cannot uninstall Jamf Now App Installers apps from a Mac.

To manually uninstall a Jamf Now App Installers app, first ensure the following conditions are met in Jamf Now.

  • The app is not marked as Install Automatically in the blueprint. If it is marked with this deployment method, click Edit Apps to deselect the checkbox.

  • Under the device's Mac Apps tab, the app status displays as User-managed. If Admin-managed is displayed, click the Action pop-up menu (•••) and select Convert to User-managed.

After the conditions are met, the Mac user can remove the app from the Mac.
