Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0.

Brewer X, a native macOS client for Homebrew▲40
Hi HN! Like many of you, for my entire career I have relied on Homebrew to install all kinds of software on my Mac. That's why today I'm really excited to share a new app that my partner and I are building: Brewer X, a refreshing user interface for Homebrew. Brewer X is graphical interface that lives on top of Homebrew. Leveraging the power of native APIs improves the classic experience and unlocks new features.

Taphouse – A Native macOS GUI for Homebrew▲5
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…
