Plus: 6 languages, Mac App Store integration, third-party app updates (Sparkle/GitHub/Electron), code signing verification, Brewfile export, and menu bar mode with auto-updates. The complete Homebrew GUI for macOS.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I launched Taphouse just 2 weeks ago as a simple Homebrew GUI. Since then, I've shipped 35 builds based on user feedback. The biggest additions: 🔒 Security Scanner — scans all your packages against the CVE database. Turns out I had 3 vulnerable packages myself. 🩺 Health Dashboard — one screen showing outdated packages, orphans, cache bloat, and doctor issues with a health score. 🧹 Cleanup tools — find orphaned dependencies, leftover files from uninstalled apps, and duplicates (same app from Homebrew + App Store). 🔍 Pre-install inspection — see exactly what a cask will install before you install it. Background services? Sudo required? Now you'll know. Built natively in Swift for macOS. Free tier available, Pro unlocks everything for €9.99. Would love your feedback — I'm shipping updates almost daily!

Many Homebrew frontends end up being “casks-only app stores” or “a wrapper around brew install.” What did you decide Taphouse must do end-to-end (formulae, services, maintenance, visibility, security), and what did you intentionally avoid because it would dilute the core value?

@curiouskitty This is the first app i released although i've been working for months on more and i wanted to make the best of it. Anyone who installs Taphouse should never look back to any other similar app or find a feature that is missing. And most importantly, be pleasantly surprised by discovering they get more than they expected. I am very happy with how it turned out, and many features were added thanks to the user base and their suggestions.

Wow! So does it list and manage all the apps/tools we installed using Homebrew?

Congrats on the launch — Taphouse is a slick, native way to manage Homebrew without dropping into the terminal every time.​
