Applite uses the Homebrew package manager under the hood. Homebrew is a free and open source project that makes it easy to install developer tools and desktop applications on macOS.

What apps are available on Applite?

Any application that can be found in the Homebrew Catalog is available on Applite. Use the search function to find all applications in Applite.

Is it secure?

The macOS built-in protection (Gatekeeper and XProtect) will scan the application for potential malware the first time you open it and notify you if anything is suspicious. Also, most applications in the Homebrew Catalog are notarized, which means they come from a registered developer.

The apps may not be sandboxed, which allows them to affect your system with elevated privileges. Nevertheless, be careful, as some applications may contain malware, especially those that have few downloads. Applite itself is also not sandboxed.
