What you get

A complete Homebrew UI for macOS

Installed formulae & casks

See everything Homebrew manages in a filterable, sortable list.

Discover & Favorites

Find new packages with rich detail cards, and save favorites for instant access.

Taps & package insights

Manage taps, filter Homebrew Leaves, and inspect installed dependents.

Updates & services

Upgrade safely, control services, and see the outdated count in the Dock.

Cleanup & diagnostics

Preview disk savings before cleanup. Run brew doctor visually.

Brewfile export

Export reproducible Brewfiles and track local install history.

Fast keyboard navigation

Move through virtualized package lists with Arrow, Home, End, Enter, and Space.

Fast Rust backend

Commands are parsed and validated in Rust — fast, safe, no shell spawning.

Security model

Local-first. No surprises.

Typed IPC only

The renderer never spawns a shell. Every command flows through validated, typed channels.

Explicit confirmation

Mutating actions like install, uninstall, and cleanup always require user approval.

Zero data collection

No telemetry, no cloud sync, no auth, no paid logic. Everything stays on your Mac.
