MacRunbooks
Link-based macOS onboarding scripts with reporting
MacRunbooks turns this CLI into a hosted runbook builder for automating new‑Mac setup. Create a profile of tasks (apps, preferences, SSH, Git, maintenance) and share a secure one‑liner that applies it with completion logs and optional Slack alerts.

Medium — Needs a hosted profile builder and tokened install script with secure telemetry, but no heavy infrastructure or device drivers.
- ✓Huge existing interest (9k+ stars) and clear, extensible CLI surface maps directly to a profile-driven installer.
- ✓Target buyer has real budget and pain but is over-served by heavy MDMs; lightweight automation with reporting is a clear wedge.
- ✓Solo dev can ship a secure tokened installer, profile builder, and logging quickly without GPUs or native app complexity.
