The thing I've been quietly working on for months. A discovery layer for Homebrew casks. Everyone, meet CaskHub! #homebrew #macos

As an avid @MacHomebrew user and this is next leve!

#CaskHub
brew install --cask caskhub

A native macOS app store for Homebrew casks. Browse, search, install, update, and uninstall thousands of Mac apps distributed through Homebrew - with original app icons extracted from the source, categories, popularity charts, and one-click actions, all in a clean SwiftUI interface.

[Ali Elsokary @alielsokary]

CaskHub is the top-downloaded macOS app on Homebrew in the last 60 days! 😎

@alielsokary @buildinpublic CaskHub is a focused take on the Homebrew ecosystem. A native Mac catalog could make discovering and managing casks much less tedious.

[Ali Elsokary @alielsokary]

Cool Visualization of what CaskHub does! ❤️

[Ademola @AdemolaWealth_]

this is what interest me and stood out to me about CaskHub

Homebrew already had the apps

the missing piece was discovery

so I visualized that shift

@buildinpublic just shipped a new release a couple of hours before: https://t.co/JhNTSdpuOW

Mac users have been using Homebrew like it's still 2015.

Someone finally built the App Store it deserved.

CaskHub is a free, open-source macOS app that turns Homebrew Casks into a native app store.

Instead of remembering terminal commands, you get:

• One-click install, update & uninstall
• Browse thousands of Mac apps
• Original app icons and categories
• Top Charts based on Homebrew installs
• Adopt apps you installed outside Homebrew
• Brewfile backup & restore
• Homebrew health checks and cleanup
• Native SwiftUI interface

The best part?

Everything still uses the real `brew` command underneath, so it's fully compatible with the terminal.

No ads.
No subscriptions.
No premium tier.

Would you replace Terminal with this?

[Ali Elsokary @alielsokary]

Seriously, they just keep coming! #producthunt

[Ali Elsokary @alielsokary]

15 minutes into launching on Product Hunt, I get hit with dozens of these on LinkedIn. Honestly, it's either I get real support in a legitimate way, or I don't at all. Are you guys okay with this, @ProductHunt?! Is this how it operates now?!

[Ali Elsokary @alielsokary]

Funny how the “buy upvotes” DMs arrived in minutes, but the votes from people who actually know me still haven’t registered! LOL

Sooo I passed the 1k stars on GitHub late yesterday, and this is how GitHub decided to greet me 😅

Honestly, this is how I read it: "Hey, it looks like this is kickin'; please don't die! Or if you are planning on it very soon, then find a successor." 😂😂 @github

[Viktor Rozenko @sharpvik]

I found a Mac app that's basically App Store for Homebrew casks: https://t.co/JZJSI6Fr7g
