Supply-chain hygiene for your dev machine
EasyHomebrew
A native Homebrew package manager that watches your Mac for CVEs.
Know what's installed on your Mac — and know what's vulnerable. You installed those Homebrew packages months ago and never looked at them again, and some of them have CVEs now. EasyHomebrew scans every installed formula and cask against a live vulnerability database, keeps a menu-bar agent watching for new advisories, tails your service logs, and fixes Homebrew health warnings in one click — on macOS 14 (Sonoma) and later, Apple Silicon or Intel.
Available now · €10 one-time
Requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later — Apple Intelligence features need macOS 26. Latest release: v3.1.0.
