Description

It's a SwiftUI app (macOS 14+) that wraps the Homebrew CLI and adds features I've always wanted: - Browse, search, install, and uninstall formulae and casks with a 3-column native interface - Bulk operations – select multiple packages to upgrade or remove at once - CVE/vulnerability scanning – checks installed packages against the OSV database - Dependency tree visualization – see what depends on what before removing things - Orphaned dependency cleanup – find and remove packages nothing depends on anymore - Duplicate app detection – spots apps installed from both Homebrew and /Applications - Third-party app update scanning – detects Sparkle/GitHub updates for non-Homebrew apps too - Curated collections – one-click install bundles for web dev, data science, DevOps, etc. - Services management – start/stop/restart brew services from the GUI - Scheduled maintenance – auto-run cleanup and brew doctor on a schedule - Mac App Store integration (via mas CLI) - Menu bar icon with background update checks and notifications Available via brew install --cask taphouse or direct download. Localized in 6 languages. Currently at v1.4.8 (50 builds in). I'd love feedback on what else would be useful. https://taphouse.multimodalsolutions.gr
