Description
Cakebrew feels dated and the Homebrew CLI is unforgiving if you're not living in a terminal. Brewse is a real native Mac app (Tauri/Rust, not Electron) that searches formulas and casks instantly, ranks popular packages by real 30-day install counts, and shows an honest activity log with actual stdout/stderr and exit codes — no faked progress bars. One-time $5.99, no subscription, no account, no telemetry: activate once online, then it works fully offline forever. Apple Silicon only, on purpose.

Could you build this?
Yes A Tauri/Rust desktop GUI for Homebrew that queries Homebrew's public analytics API and executes local `brew` shell commands with stdout streaming is well within vibe-coding capabilities.
