How to Install the Time Doctor Automatic Application on macOS Using Jamf

 

Note: Automatic App Deployment via Jamf is available in Premium plans and can be configured by Owners and Admins.

Prerequisites

  1. Access to Jamf dashboard with policy creation rights.
  2. Automatic App installer script from the Downloads page.
  3. PPPC‑Utility from Jamf GitHub.
  4. Installation of the Automatic App on a host computer before configuring PPPC permissions.

  6. Save the file to an accessible location (e.g., Desktop).



 

Upload Configuration to Jamf

  1. Uninstall the app on the host computer (see macOS uninstall instructions).
  2. In Jamf dashboard, go to Computers → Configuration Profiles → Upload.
  3. Upload the saved configuration file from Step 10.
  4. Name the profile (e.g., Time Doctor‑PPPC), assign a category (e.g., Utilities), set scope, and save.





 

Run the Deployment

  1. Execute the installation policy created in Step 3.
  2. The Automatic App installs without Security & Privacy pop‑ups.
  3. Verify installation by opening Activity Monitor and searching for sfproc.

 

Best‑Practice Tips
 
Keep installation and uninstallation policies separate for easier management.
Always configure PPPC permissions before mass deployment to prevent user interruptions.
 
Test the workflow on a small group of devices before organization‑wide rollout.
