Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A native macOS app for managing Active Directory without a Windows virtual machine or remote desktop.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

Direqtive organizes Active Directory administration into dedicated views for users, computers, groups, and organisational units, with examples of search, editing, object movement, computer reassignment, and password resets. The page claims support for more than 200 AD operations, LDAP or LDAPS connections, and simultaneous management of multiple domains. Its mobile extension for iPhone and iPad is presented as a forthcoming feature rather than an observed capability.
