The startup MDM

You didn't start a company
to manage laptops.

Mac management without the learning curve. Set up your fleet in 20 minutes. Ship SOC 2 ready from day one. No IT team required.

We're onboarding teams one at a time. No spam, no demos, no sales calls.

Every MDM was built for someone else.

Jamf is for thousand-device fleets. Kandji went upmarket and rebranded. Rippling wants to run your whole company. The rest of the category speaks fluent sysadmin — blueprints, smart groups, configuration profiles, scoped policies.

You have 15 Macs and a customer asking for SOC 2 next month.

moonrise is the obvious answer for that.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

We made all the boring decisions for you. The defaults are the right defaults. The settings you don't see are the settings you don't need.

01

Policies in plain English

Write what you want ("require a passcode, lock after 5 minutes") or start from a template. No Apple documentation. No protocol acronyms. No PhD in MDM.

02

50+ app catalog

Slack, Chrome, 1Password, the rest. One click to deploy. Auto-updates handled. Upload your own .pkg files when you need to.

03

SOC 2 in the box

The controls are pre-configured to the standard. Generate the evidence pack on demand. Send it to your auditor. That's the workflow.

04

OS updates that just happen

Push macOS versions fleet-wide with a grace period. No nagging employees. No spreadsheet of who's on what version.

05

Fleet visibility

Hardware, OS versions, compliance status, known CVEs. One screen, no digging.

06

Enroll and wipe

Code-based enrollment your team can do themselves. Lock, restart, or wipe a lost device in seconds. That's most of what you actually need.

Security, not surveillance.

Most MDMs sell control. Track devices. Monitor browsing. Block apps. Log keystrokes. We don't do any of that.

Real security at 15 people is the basics done well: encryption on, OS patched, lost devices wipeable, screen lock enforced. That's the list. Everything else is theater that breeds shadow IT and makes your team resent you.

We manage devices. We don't surveil the people using them.

Kandji went enterprise.
You have 15 people.

Every well-funded MDM eventually chases enterprise. They have to — that's where the valuations live. Kandji moved upmarket and rebranded as Iru. Rippling wants every seat in your stack. The rest of the category is built for IT teams that don't exist at your size.

We're bootstrapped. We'll never raise. We'll never enterprise. We're not going anywhere because we don't have to.

moonrise is built for startups, by founders running one. You can set up your first Macs in 20 minutes without knowing what MDM stands for.
