BrewUI

BrewUI is Homebrew's official macOS GUI, built by the Homebrew team to make package management approachable for users who prefer graphical interfaces over Terminal. Unlike third-party Homebrew frontends such as Cork (paid) or the aging Cakebrew, BrewUI is officially maintained, free and open source under AGPL-3.0, and written in native SwiftUI with strict concurrency for a fast, Mac-native feel. Its standout design principle is transparency: the app never hides what Homebrew is doing underneath, so users can see and trust every operation while staying fully compatible with the brew CLI. You can discover, install, update and manage formulae and casks, browse data from the Homebrew JSON API, and inspect background services—including status, owner and log paths—through a read-only Services tab. Community-sourced translations gracefully fall back to English when incomplete. Installation takes one command: brew install --cask homebrew-app. The project is stable and under active development, with reproducible tooling (pinned SwiftFormat/SwiftLint via Mint) for contributors. Note that it requires an existing Homebrew installation and cannot start or stop services from the GUI.
