What is 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.

CaskHub is 100% free and open source, no subscription, no premium tier, no ads, nothing.

Features:

Discover

  • Browse - curated shelves and a rotating hero pick, organized by category
  • Featured - the top 100 casks ranked by install popularity
  • Top Charts - most-installed casks with a 30 / 90 / 365-day analytics window
  • Recently Added - casks newly published to Homebrew in the last 30-90 days
  • Categories - every cask classified into browsable categories (Developer Tools, Productivity, Design, and more)
  • Search - instant search (Cmd+F) across names, tokens, and descriptions

Manage

  • Install / Update / Uninstall with live progress states and cancellable downloads
  • Adopt Apps - bring apps you installed outside Homebrew (a downloaded DMG, another store) under brew management with one click, keeping the app in place
  • Guided Homebrew setup - walks you through installing Homebrew if it's missing, supports custom installation paths, and picks the native prefix on both Apple Silicon and Intel
  • Smart update detection - skips self-updating apps and normalizes packaging-suffix version differences, so the Updates badge only shows updates that matter
  • Installed library - detects what's already in your Caskroom, including apps installed from the command line
  • Native password prompts - pkg-based casks that need admin rights get a native macOS dialog instead of a terminal prompt
  • Rich metadata - original app icons, download sizes, install counts, homepages, and version info

Polish

  • Grid and list view modes, flexible sorting, light/dark/system themes
  • A custom design system with bundled typography
  • Bundled category data ships with the app, so browsing never blocks on the network
  • Built-in app updates - CaskHub keeps itself up to date via Sparkle
