There's an impressive set of features that seem to be very easy to use. […] It's much better than the command-line or Electron.

After using it and buying a license, I agree — I now consider it a must‑have app for managing Homebrew packages on my Mac.

There's a lot of functionality packed into this application, to the point that calling it a Homebrew GUI isn't truly accurate.

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.

I've been using Taphouse for several months, to my complete satisfaction. The developer is very responsive and keeps polishing the app. I'd tried the alternatives — at this point Taphouse is the most complete of them.

I was going to say a GUI for Homebrew is pointless — but I installed Taphouse and it's genuinely handy, especially for spotting obsolete packages and the orphaned ones you've forgotten. Really well made!

Taphouse is the most capable of them all, and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all at this point.
