CaskHub
The Mac app store Homebrew never had
What it does
Browse, search, install, update, and uninstall thousands of Mac apps distributed through Homebrew, in a native SwiftUI interface. 100% free and open source.
Browse, search, install, update, and uninstall thousands of Mac apps distributed through Homebrew, with original app icons, categories, popularity charts, and one-click actions, all in a native SwiftUI interface. CaskHub runs everything through your real brew binary, so anything you install here can be managed from the command line, and vice versa. Curated shelves, a rotating hero pick, a Featured top 100, and every cask classified into browsable categories. The most-installed casks ranked by Homebrew's public analytics, with 30, 90, and 365-day windows. New arrivals to Homebrew from the last 30-90 days, so you catch new apps early. Install, update, and uninstall with live progress states…from caskhub.app

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…
- BXBrewer X, a native macOS client for Homebrew2024 · panini.house · ▲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. For example: • bulk actions are performed in parallel • syncing the entire library locally provides incredible search performances and the ability to query descriptions and other…

I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
