Free Local MDM Evidence Checker

A read-only scanner that inspects local MDM enrollment indicators, profile payloads, certificates, managed preferences, and supervision context without making changes to your system.

What the checker does

  • Reads MDM enrollment status (enrolled / not enrolled)
  • Lists locally installed management profiles and payloads
  • Reports supervision state and local source context
  • Surfaces ABM/ADE-related local indicators where macOS exposes them
  • Checks Remote Management (ARD) and related local services
  • Reports your macOS version and chip architecture
  • Generates a local evidence summary; optional report export is explicit
  • Makes zero management-state changes — read-only local evidence only

Run the checker

Open Terminal on your Mac and run this command. It downloads and executes the open-source checker script from mdmliberator.com.

Understanding your results

The checker reports local evidence classifications instead of a misleading clean score. This is a local scan only. Activation Lock is not checked, modified, bypassed, or removed.

Sample classification matrix:
Local MDM indicators: none_detected
Permissions: complete
Network path: normal
No local MDM indicators detected

The scan did not find local MDM profiles or related traces. This is useful evidence, but it does not prove ownership or confirm ABM/ADE release.

Local MDM indicators detected

A management profile is visible locally. Preserve the output and request written release confirmation from the seller, IT administrator, or organization that controls the profile.

ABM/ADE status unknown from this Mac

ABM/ADE assignment is server-side. A local scan can show context, but release must come from the seller, organization, Apple-supported records, or the appropriate administrator.

Supervised device

Supervision can indicate organizational management context. Treat this as a documentation signal and avoid using the device outside your authorization.

What to do after the scan

Choose the next step that matches your checker result so you can move forward quickly and safely.

No local indicators

Keep your local report for records, resale disclosure, or buyer documentation.

Need a clean evidence packet?

If the checker found management traces, the Evidence & Escalation Kit helps you preserve screenshots, organize local findings, and request written release confirmation. It does not bypass Activation Lock or remove server-side ABM/ADE assignment.
