Real‑time progress and logs while Taphouse runs the brew command on your behalf.
Start, stop, restart Homebrew services with color‑coded status — Postgres, Redis, the lot.

Push a stubborn update out a day, a week, a month, or until the next version ships.
Find Intel apps still running under Rosetta. Swap them for native ARM builds, one click each.
Read the changelog before you update. Sourced live from GitHub Releases.
Outdated, vulnerable, orphaned, cache size, health score — the at‑a‑glance brew snapshot.
Review and clear macOS Gatekeeper quarantine flags from one place. No xattr required.
Native SwiftUI, designed to feel like part of macOS — not a web view in a window.
An honest look at how Taphouse compares to other Homebrew GUIs on macOS. The rows where competitors are equally good get a ✓ too.
After using it and buying a license, I agree — I now consider it a must‑have app for managing Homebrew packages on my Mac.
The most comprehensive GUI available for Homebrew on macOS today. It transforms package management from a necessary chore into a managed, transparent process.
There's a lot of functionality packed into this application, to the point that calling it a Homebrew GUI isn't truly accurate.
Taphouse is the most capable of them all, and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all at this point.
I've seen my share of Homebrew GUI apps for macOS over the past few years. None of them comes close to being as useful as Taphouse.
For developers and power users who want Homebrew's flexibility with a more accessible interface, Taphouse delivers exactly what it promises.
No subscriptions, no accounts, no recurring fees. Pay once if you need the Pro flows — or never.
Taphouse is its own Homebrew cask. The visual app and the command line can coexist — switch between them mid‑task.
brew binary you already use. It surfaces things that are tedious from the command line — disk usage per package, outdated lists, service status, CVEs, dependencies — and lets you batch‑select updates rather than running them one by one.
brew install --cask taphouse in your terminal. The cask lives in the main tap, so updates flow through brew upgrade like any other app.
