# Brewy: A Homebrew GUI
A native macOS app for managing [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) packages. Browse, search, install, and update formulae and casks — all without opening Terminal.
> **Note:** Brewy is in early development and currently provides only basic functionality. Expect rough edges, missing features, and breaking changes.
## Features
- Browse installed formulae and casks, including pinned packages and leaves
- Discover and search all Homebrew/core and Homebrew/cask packages
- View package details, dependencies, and reverse dependencies
- Install, uninstall, upgrade, pin, and unpin packages
- Upgrade all outdated packages at once, or select specific packages to upgrade
- Manage taps (add/remove third-party repositories)
- Run `brew doctor`, remove orphaned packages, and clear the download cache
- Menu bar extra showing outdated package count
- Configurable auto-refresh interval and brew path
- Light, dark, and system theme support
- Auto-updates via Sparkle
## Requirements
- macOS 15.0 or later (Apple Silicon)
- [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) installed (defaults to `/opt/homebrew/bin/brew`, configurable in Settings)
## Installation
The best way to install Brewy is naturally with Homebrew:
```sh
brew install brewy
```
You can also grab the latest release from the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/p-linnane/brewy/releases).
