Roll Superwhisper out across your fleet without asking each user to download or install it manually. Superwhisper ships signed installers that work with Jamf, Microsoft Intune, and other MDM tools. Your IT team builds the deployment. Superwhisper does not supply config profiles or preset preferences.

Installers

These links always serve the latest version.

​
What MDM deployment gets you

  • Silent install across Mac and Windows without user interaction
  • Managed Accessibility permission on macOS via a PPPC profile, allowing Superwhisper to paste into other apps
  • Auto-activation when paired with SAML SSO and SCIM. Users sign in with their work email and their Enterprise seat activates automatically, no license keys to distribute
  • Centralized updates through your MDM update channel

​
macOS (Jamf)

​
Install

The Superwhisper DMG is a drag-to-install disk image. It also holds a background image and an /Applications shortcut. Jamf Pro can’t deploy it as it is, so build a PKG first:
  1. Build a PKG from the DMG. In Jamf Composer, drag in the DMG, choose Convert to Source, delete everything except superwhisper.app, and root the app at Applications/. Or build it from the command line on a Mac with Superwhisper installed:
  2. Upload the PKG to Jamf Pro or your distribution point
  3. Create a policy scoped to the target computer group
  4. Set the trigger (recurring check-in, login, or self-service) and frequency
  5. Run the policy

​
Permissions

Superwhisper needs Accessibility permission for its keyboard shortcuts and to paste text into other apps and Microphone permission to record audio. You can grant Accessibility access with a PPPC (Privacy Preferences Policy Control) profile:
  1. Create a new Configuration Profile in Jamf
  2. Add a Privacy Preferences Policy Control payload
  3. Add Superwhisper with the Accessibility service set to Allow, using the values below
  4. Scope the profile to the same computer group as the install policy
You can also read the code requirement from an installed copy with codesign -dr - /Applications/superwhisper.app. macOS does not allow MDM to pre-grant microphone access. Each user must click Allow when Superwhisper requests it. If they previously denied access, they can enable Superwhisper in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone. See Apple’s PPPC reference for the permissions a profile can manage.

​
Verification

  1. Confirm Superwhisper appears in Applications on a target Mac
  2. Open it as the intended user and complete license activation
  3. Grant microphone access when prompted
  4. Follow the Quickstart to record a short dictation and confirm the text pastes into another app

​
macOS (Intune)

Intune supports DMG apps for macOS. Upload the Superwhisper DMG as a macOS app (DMG) in the Intune admin center, then assign it to the target group. Build a PPPC profile with the values above and deploy it through Intune to grant Accessibility access. Each user must grant Microphone access themselves. Use the same verification steps on a target Mac.

​
Windows (Intune)

​
Install

Use the machine-wide enterprise installer from Installers. It installs Superwhisper for all users in C:\Program Files\superwhisper and needs admin rights. The standard installer from superwhisper.com installs for one user only. Remove any per-user copy of Superwhisper before you deploy. An existing per-user install can make the machine-wide install fail. Intune treats EXE installers as Win32 apps:
  1. In the Intune admin center, go to Apps > Windows > Add
  2. Choose Windows app (Win32) and upload the EXE wrapped as an .intunewin package using the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool
  3. Set the install command (see below) and set Install behavior to System
  4. Add a detection rule: Registry, key path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\superwhisper, detection method Key exists
  5. Assign the app to your target group as Required

​
Silent install command

The installer accepts the /S flag for fully silent installation:
On ARM devices, the file is superwhisper_<version>_arm64-enterprise.exe. To uninstall silently, run the uninstaller from the install directory:

​
Verification

Check the Intune admin center under Apps > Monitor > App install status for per-device install results.

​
Activation after install

If your organization is on Superwhisper Enterprise with SAML SSO configured, users open the app, sign in with their work email, and their license activates automatically. No license keys to push. Without SSO, send members a join link or an email invite. See Member Management.

​
Updates

On macOS, Superwhisper checks for updates on launch by default. If your MDM installs the app as root, standard users can’t complete an in-app update. To manage updates through your MDM instead:
  1. Deploy a configuration profile for the com.superduper.superwhisper domain with SUEnableAutomaticChecks and SUAutomaticallyUpdate set to false
  2. Deploy each new DMG as a replacement package on your usual schedule
On Windows, the machine-wide installer turns off in-app updates. Users see that updates are managed by their administrator. To update, deploy the new enterprise EXE through your MDM.

​
Network access

If your fleet sits behind a VPN, proxy, or firewall, allow *.superwhisper.com and superwhisper.com. This covers every Superwhisper host, including cloud regions we add later. For the full host list, see the Superwhisper Trust Center. If the network blocks api.superwhisper.com, license activation fails or hangs. The Windows app detects proxies through WPAD and PAC files.

​
Third-party providers (optional)

The app connects to these providers directly from each user’s machine. Allow only the ones your team uses. On macOS 2.18.4 and later, turning off Allow Cloud AI Models also blocks members’ own cloud API keys. To enforce your policy on older versions or other platforms, block the provider domains your organization has not approved.
