Overview
Taphouse is a native Homebrew app for Mac that turns brew commands into simple point-and-click actions. Built in SwiftUI, it gives you a cleaner way to browse, install, update, and manage packages — without giving up the terminal when you still want it.

Taphouse features
Browse and install
Search Homebrew formulae, casks, and third-party taps from one search bar. Check dependencies, licenses, disk usage, and Homebrew caveats before installing. Install packages with one click and watch the live command output in real time. No mystery. Just Homebrew doing its thing.
Manage what you have
See everything you’ve installed in one tidy list. Filter by formulae, casks, favorites, pinned packages, or available updates. Select multiple packages to upgrade, uninstall, or pin at once. You can even adopt apps already sitting in your Applications folder so future updates run through Homebrew too.
Stay up to date
Choose when Taphouse checks for updates and get notified when something’s ready. Automatic background upgrades are available too, with battery-aware behavior so your Mac doesn’t start working overtime at the wrong moment. The menu bar icon shows outdated packages at a glance. Updating running apps? Taphouse can close them cleanly first before upgrading.
Manage services, taps, and Brewfiles
Start and stop brew services without typing commands manually. Add, remove, and pin taps in a couple of clicks. Import and export Brewfiles to move your setup between Macs. Search also supports full third-party tap paths and can add missing taps automatically.
Keep Homebrew healthy
Run brew doctor in a readable interface instead of a wall of Terminal text. See how much space Homebrew uses and clear files you no longer need. You can also remove quarantine flags, track duplicate installs, and keep your package setup organized without bouncing between tools.
And a few extras
Taphouse also includes installation history, dependency tree visualization, package notes, tags and collections, compact list mode, Apple Silicon migration tools, and mas CLI integration. Everything maps directly to real brew commands, so your setup stays portable, familiar, and fully yours.
From $11.99. Taphouse app only.
