# Kandji

> Kandji is an MDM for Apple devices. There are two primary components to Kandji: the Kandji web app and Kandji’s proprietary macOS Agent. The web app is used to configure, review, and report settings on enrolled devices. The Kandji Agent enforces settings, remediates discrepancies, and reports data back to the web app. Both components also have many other capabilities.
