Who we are

GAM GUI (the GAM & Google Workspace Companion macOS app) is built and published by Hal Carrell, an independent software developer operating as a sole proprietor in Texas, USA. This is an independent product, not a company storefront for any larger brand.

What the product is

GAM GUI is a third-party macOS desktop application that gives Google Workspace administrators a graphical interface for running GAM (Google Apps Manager) commands and workflows. Instead of typing GAM commands in Terminal, you can build, preview, and run common administrative tasks from a native Mac app.

GAM is separate, open-source software. GAM is maintained by the GAM community at github.com/GAM-team/GAM. GAM GUI does not bundle, install, or replace GAM — you install, license, and authorize GAM yourself on each Mac, and GAM GUI invokes it locally on your machine.

Why not just GAM in Terminal?

GAM is the engine; GAM GUI is the operations console. You still run GAM locally — we add:

  • 16 packaged audit workflows (user audit, shared drives, super-admin tokens, etc.) with CSV/Sheets output
  • Command Builder + dry-run and 16 Quick Actions for daily tasks
  • Safety layer — risk classification, typed confirm on destructive commands
  • Premium Files — browse CSV, logs, and Sheets from one place
  • Repeatability — saved Custom Commands, Enterprise scheduler (app open)

If you live in Terminal and maintain your own scripts, GAM alone may be enough. If you want packaged compliance runs without writing Python, GAM GUI saves hours per quarter.

Why not Google Admin Console?

Admin Console is excellent for day-to-day UI tasks. GAM GUI wins on batch audits, cross-object reports, and automation — e.g. inactive user sweeps across thousands of accounts, Shared Drive ACL exports, license usage CSVs, and super-admin OAuth token reviews. Admin Console does not replace GAM batch power.

Why not ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can suggest a gam command. It cannot run your audits, upload to Sheets, validate syntax against your installed GAM version, or execute 16-step workflow packages with dry-run safety. We position AI as an accelerator inside the product (BYOK), not as a ChatGPT replacement.
