BrewStore / Open source

BrewStore is open source

The Homebrew GUI for Mac is MIT-licensed. Read the code, star the repo, open a pull request. BrewStore exists so developers can see there is a full-catalog brew frontend that is free — not a paid prebuilt, not a cask-only store.

GitHub repository

github.com/manishvagh/BrewStore-by-Manish-Vagh

Electron + TypeScript. It shells out to the Homebrew you already have (brew install, brew outdated, brew upgrade, brew services, brew tap, Brewfile). Catalog data comes from the official Homebrew APIs. No account. Optional PayPal support does not gate features.

Install from the tap, or clone

brew install --cask manishvagh/brewstore/brewstore

That uses manishvagh/homebrew-brewstore. Official Homebrew Cask does not accept unsigned apps.

git clone https://github.com/manishvagh/BrewStore-by-Manish-Vagh.git
cd BrewStore-by-Manish-Vagh
npm install
npm run dev

To put a build in Applications: npm run install:mac. Direct commits to main are not allowed — open a PR.

License and name

Code is MIT. The BrewStore name and Manish Vagh attribution are not. Forks must not pretend to be the official app. See TRADEMARKS.md on GitHub.
