AquaSense

What it does

Most water monitors either require a full smart home setup, a plumber to install them, or only track total household usage with no breakdown. AquaSense is different: it's a standalone device that tracks water and energy consumption point by point — shower, sink, toilet — and converts it into real money spent, not just liters or kWh. No subscription. No ecosystem lock-in. No installation headaches. Currently in prototype phase, looking for feedback and people who actually care about this problem.

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
