Install and update Homebrew packages without the terminal

Made by Homebrew

Homebrew’s own macOS app for people who would rather click than type.

Homebrew is the package manager most Mac developers use to install software from a terminal; this gives it a native window for discovering, installing, updating and removing packages. The stated goal is to be approachable without hiding anything — it shows what Homebrew is actually doing underneath rather than presenting a simplified fiction. It is written in Swift and SwiftUI with strict concurrency, and reads its data from the brew command and Homebrew’s public JSON API.

Can I use this?

Mac app

You'll need A Mac with Homebrew installed · Ready to use

Worth knowing It is a front end, not a replacement: Homebrew itself still has to be installed and still does the work. Configuration is one thing to know about — the app reads options from a brew.env file and needs a relaunch after changes, and the shell aliases and exported variables you may already rely on do not reach it. It is AGPL-3.0, so reusing the source in something you distribute or host carries the network-use obligation. BuildTube has not run or verified this software.
