Low Profile

A Mac utility to help inspect Apple Configuration Profile payloads:

• Want to see what is inside the Configuration Profiles that are installed on your Mac?
• Curious to know what a Configuration Profile will enforce / change on a device before actually installing one?
• Tired of having to manually un-sign Configuration Profiles, only to have to flex your XML parsing skills to find out what is inside?
• Maybe you just want to qualify that your MDM vendor is creating Configuration Profiles the way you expect?

If the answer is yes to any of the above, then Low Profile is the app for you!
