App Store-Style Detail Page
Everything you need to decide on a package, in one page: an AI-written description, screenshots, popularity numbers, related versions, dependencies, and any known security issues.

Popularity Numbers
See how many people have installed any package over the last 30, 90, or 365 days. Helps you tell mature, well-loved tools from abandoned ones at a glance.
List or Grid View
Toggle every package list between a compact row view and a visual card grid. Your choice is remembered across launches.
Smart Variant Grouping
Different flavors of the same app (e.g. firefox, firefox@esr, firefox-developer-edition) collapse under one entry. Click +N to see them all.
Security Scanning
Check your installed packages against a live security database. See the severity at a glance, with one click out to the official advisory.

Search

Services Manager
Start, stop, and restart background services like databases and web servers. Watch their logs live with syntax colours and check how each one is configured — no Terminal needed.
Brew Doctor
Run a Homebrew health check and fix issues with one click — every warning gets a "Run fix" button. On macOS 26+, Apple Intelligence explains unfamiliar warnings in plain English.
Batch Operations
Select multiple packages and install or uninstall them in one go. Toggle batch mode in any package list.
Discover
Type what you want in plain language ("fast SQL client with autocomplete") and EasyHomebrew finds the package that fits. All on your Mac, no cloud.
Menu-Bar Agent
A lightweight helper lives in your menu bar, checks on the schedule you pick, and shows how many updates — and security issues — are waiting. Upgrade everything without opening the app.
Browse by Author
Every package grouped by the people and organisations behind it, with avatars. See everything your favourite maintainer ships, in one place.
Taps Management
Add and remove third-party Homebrew taps without the CLI. Each tap gets its own detail view — and on macOS 26+, Apple Intelligence answers questions about what it provides.
Storage & Cleanup
See exactly how much disk space formulae, casks, and the app's caches take up — and reclaim it with one click.
Localisation
Available in English, French, Greek, German, Italian, and Spanish — every screen, not just the menus.
