Munki

Munki is a popular open source tool to manage software install for a macOS environment. Admins can create software catalogs to allow users to install popular applications.

Munki also has the capability to track application usage, which can be useful to determine if an application was executed. This feature is primarily used to track unused software.

However, it appears Munki tracks any application that is launched by the user via the application icon. (command tools are not tracked)
