swiftDialog

swiftDialog is a command‑line utility for macOS that lets administrators display custom dialogs and messages directly from shell scripts. It supports a range of dialog elements such as titles, messages, icons, images, videos, web pages, and markdown‑formatted content, allowing scripts to present information in a visually consistent way.

The tool also captures user input through text fields, checkboxes, dropdowns, item lists, and radio buttons, and it can show progress indicators, timers, and full‑screen presentations. Configuration can be supplied via command‑line options or JSON files, and features like live updates and exit‑code handling enable integration with management workflows such as MDM or Jamf Pro.

swiftDialog is packaged for macOS, includes a visual dialog builder for creating configurations, and provides built‑in documentation, example scripts, and community support resources. It is positioned as a modern replacement for older utilities like jamfHelper, offering extensive layout control and media support.
