Hi friends,

I'm working on a new first boot sequence for our org; in the past, I've used dockutil and duti to set the appropriate dock and UTI's for calendars/email. They're both getting long in the tooth, though, and I seem to recall there was a Swift app out there to do the same thing as dockutil. Could anyone remind me what the name of the dockutil replacement was, or suggest more modern replacements?

Highly recommend this. We've replaced dockutil with it.

Take a look at Docklib / Outset3 / Macadmins-Python3...

Works great and easy to setup. Uses a localized version of Python3 so will work on macOS 12.3 and beyond.
