- Corporate device identification was implemented in komorebi v0.1.39 on 12/10/2025.
- The feature was explained in the README for non-corporate users enrolled in MDM.
- v0.1.39 saw around 17k downloads, consistent with previous releases.
- 26 new annual Individual Commercial Use License (ICUL) purchases were made post-v0.1.39, representing over 20% of total active ICUL subscriptions.
- Overrides were added for 43 users with educational or BYOD MDM-enrolled devices.
- Many users discovered their devices were enrolled in BYOD MDM without their knowledge.
- Feedback from users has been unanimously supportive.
- The maintainer has made enough money from the project to cover rent for the first time since 2020.
- Future plans include improving overrides for students, releasing komorebi for Mac with corporate device identification, and exploring post-open source licensing.
