The latest releases and updates from our team. We ship often and keep things lean.

The biggest update since launch: Practical UV now treats requirements.txt as a first-class citizen. Outdated detection, hover info, code actions, and the dependency dashboard all light up automatically on requirements.txt, requirements-*.txt, and any *.txt under requirements/. Comments, pip directives (-r, -e, -c, --index-url), direct URL specs (pkg @ https://…), and PEP 508 environment markers are all parsed correctly. Open a requirements.txt and a "↑ Convert to uv" action appears in the status bar — one click runs uv init (if needed) and uv add -r in the integrated terminal, and your project is on uv. Saving a pyproject.toml with changed versions now politely offers to run uv sync for you. Already on Open VSX as version 0.1.8.

A whole new way to explore Homebrew: the new Authors view groups every package by its upstream author or organisation, with GitHub-style avatars and friendly display names. Pick an author and you get their packages on the right, sorted into collapsible categories — same install and update buttons as the rest of the app. Every package detail page also gains a "by <author>" line. The Updates page gets a long-overdue makeover with a prominent Upgrade All button, a one-click Update on every outdated row, and a clean Upgrade Selected action for batch mode — extending across Installed, All Packages, Categories, Search Results, and Authors. Casks that need root install end-to-end through a friendly authorisation flow (no more cryptic sudo failures), and a live background-activity panel in Settings shows every async job in flight. Plus a rebuilt categories database that recovers ~1,100 cask classifications, font casks that categorise correctly the first time, and a calmer macOS App Store-blue treatment for update badges.

Every package now opens an App Store-style page with everything you need to make a decision in one place. A clean stat strip shows the essentials. An AI-written description tells you what the package actually does — no more squinting at one-liners. A screenshot gallery with a native carousel and arrow-key navigation lets you preview apps before you install. Install trends for the last 30, 90, and 365 days reveal what's genuinely popular. Variants of the same app appear as click-through mini-cards. And a brand-new Games category gives 117 titles a proper home.

Browse your packages your way: a new toolbar toggle switches every list between a compact row view and a visual card grid, and your choice sticks across launches. Variants of the same app — think Firefox, Firefox ESR, Firefox Developer Edition — now collapse into a single tidy entry with a +N expander, so your lists feel curated rather than crowded. The grouping is smart enough to keep unrelated projects apart, even when they share a host. Plus a definitive fix for the rare "Homebrew is busy" warning that was getting in the way of upgrades.

The Doctor tab is no longer a wall of warnings — it's a list of one-click fixes. Every diagnostic shows up as its own card with a "Run fix" button: deprecated casks and formulae, unlinked kegs, missing dependencies, stray files, PATH issues, and more. Spot something unfamiliar? Apple Intelligence explains it in plain English on macOS 26. Errors across the app are friendlier too — clear titles, readable messages, and details tucked away until you need them. And if something fails in a batch, just tap the row to see why.

Three quick follow-ups to the public beta, now rolled up into v1.5.3. The headline work landed in v1.5.2: a Reinstall button for misbehaving packages, a new EasyHomebrew status panel in the bottom-left showing app version, packages scanned and affected, and the disk space the app itself uses. Vulnerability scanning runs automatically alongside update checks, and the Updates list now shows only the apps and tools you installed yourself — internal dependencies no longer appear as separately upgradable, which prevents breakage from mismatched versions. v1.5.1 brought stability and performance polish across package browsing, services, and Discover. v1.5.3 adds opt-in anonymous usage analytics — aggregate events only, never package names or search queries, and fully opt-out from Settings → Privacy. Free to download, same install path as 1.5.
April 16, 2026
EasyHomebrew has entered public beta. v1.5 is available as a free download — no App Store, no waitlist. It includes all core features: package and cask management, CVE vulnerability scanning, services management, taps, Brew Doctor with Apple Intelligence diagnostics on macOS 26, batch operations, and the new Discover feature powered by on-device semantic search. Give it a try and send us your feedback.

Our latest blog post breaks down why most AI prompts produce underwhelming results — and it's not the model's fault. Language models are precise instruments: vague inputs reliably produce vague outputs. The article introduces seven measurable dimensions for evaluating prompt quality — clarity, precision, chain-of-thought reasoning, information completeness, constraint verifiability, structural compliance, and informational integrity — each targeting a specific failure mode. These aren't abstract rules but practical principles drawn from state-of-the-art research that fundamentally change how you write prompts.

We're building EasyHomebrew — a native macOS app that brings a clean, intuitive GUI to Homebrew. Browse, install, upgrade, and uninstall formulae and casks without touching the terminal. It also includes built-in CVE vulnerability scanning powered by the OSV database, tap and services management, disk usage stats, and full-text search across all available packages. EasyHomebrew is coming soon.

Two major additions to the Promptivo universe. The new Benchmarks page opens the hood on our scoring engine — showing exactly how the seven quality dimensions perform against Google's IFEval (541 expert-written prompts) and MePO (2,000 prompt pairs before and after optimization). Key findings: zero expert prompts scored "Excellent," Constraint Verifiability is the hardest dimension to improve, and Information Completeness delivers the single biggest gain at +9.6%. Alongside it, the new Prompting Guide is a hands-on walkthrough with real before-and-after examples for every dimension, actionable checklists, and concrete techniques to level up your prompts immediately.

Our latest blog post dives into the research behind prompt quality and why it matters more than ever. Learn how Promptivo uses deterministic linguistic analysis — grounded in peer-reviewed studies of over 5,000 prompt pairs — to score your prompts across seven quality dimensions. Discover why clarity beats chain-of-thought scaffolding, how a few lines of structure outperform paragraphs of description, and what makes a prompt work consistently across models of all sizes.

We just shipped Promptivo — a prompt scoring tool that analyzes your AI prompts across seven quality dimensions and gives you clear, actionable advice to improve them. No AI calls, no latency, no cost per evaluation — scoring uses deterministic linguistic analysis and returns results in milliseconds. Inspired by peer-reviewed research on prompt quality, Promptivo helps you write better prompts and get better results. We would love your feedback.
