• Install the version for your operating system.
• Plug your device into your computer, and if prompted, trust it.
• In the "Skip Setup" option, toggle "Enable Supervision" on.
• Click "Apply". Your device will reboot.

Step 2: Installing Lithium

On your iOS/iPadOS device:

• Go to the Lithium Page.
• Click "Get Shortcut"
• Install the shortcut into your library.
• Locate the shortcut and run it.

Removing Supervision

• Open Cowabunga Lite on your computer, and plug in your device.
• In the "Skip Setup" section, make sure "Enable Supervision" is NOT checked.
• Apply it and your device will reboot.

Is this going to erase my device? I saw in Apple’s official app you need to erase your device.

Does it erase?
