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Upgrade safely, control services, and see the outdated count in the Dock.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

  • Dashboard — Homebrew status, package counts and pending updates
  • Packages — installed formulae with versions, descriptions and status
  • Search — Homebrew formulae and casks with install status
  • Updates — outdated formulae and casks, upgraded one by one or all at once
  • Services — Homebrew services with start, stop and restart controls
  • Settings — Homebrew detection, appearance and app updates
Security model

Local-first. No surprises.

Typed commands only

Brewwery never starts a shell. Every action is a validated Homebrew command with checked package names.

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.
