I've been busy working on something new!
Introducing MANAGED SETTINGS, a new project from bayton.org
MANAGED SETTINGS is a simple app that provides end users the ability to launch settings intents. This isn't a new concept; searching Google Play brings up many such apps. The key differentiator with MANAGED SETTINGS is the ability to toggle these various intents on and off based on the specific requirements of an organisation through managed config (and thus, the name was born).
As an added bonus, organisations that struggle to document and/or support the unique and sometimes confusing layouts of OEM-customised settings applications across both their company owned and personally owned estates, are able now to deploy one consistent settings app to everything. Building your documentation around an agnostic, standardised application makes the whole process quicker and more straightforward for all involved.
MANAGED SETTINGS works across fully managed, dedicated, and work profile devices.
Where can I get it?
I'm releasing MANAGED SETTINGS as a free application on Google Play, available today. I'm offering a licensed upgrade for MANAGED SETTINGS which offers (currently) basic customisation of the in-app experience. In an upcoming release this will extend to theming to allow organisations the option of setting a colour scheme for the MANAGED SETTINGS app that'll enable closer alignment to the organisation's brand - but I want to ensure there's demand for that before I commit to it 🙂
