Notes
Announcements
🎉 Santa has a new Workshop! North Pole Security is excited to announce the release of Workshop, an official sync service specifically designed to deeply integrate with Santa. It is fully featured, scalable, and enterprise ready. Come learn more at northpole.security.
📣 Ready for Tahoe. This version has been validated on macOS Tahoe 26.0.
📣 Santa will be ending support for macOS Ventura in January 2026.
Fixed
❗ Changes to push notification sync intervals now take effect immediately instead of waiting until the next cycle.
Changed
↔️ The sync service is restarted when push notifications are enabled/disabled so the new configuration can take effect.
↔️ If Santa is unable to communicate with the sync server when push notifications are enabled, it will reschedule the next attempt for the smaller of either 10 minutes or the current push notification full sync interval.
↔️ Sync intervals are now scheduled with a 5 second leeway (previously, there was an allowed variance of up to 50% of the sync interval time). This will make sync intervals more consistent.
If you're migrating from Google Santa, please see the Migration Guide for details on how to upgrade.
Santa documentation has undergone a complete overhaul and can be found at northpole.dev.
