Cork is the best Homebrew interface available

Homebrew is a powerful package manager for macOS.

Did you ever wish you could make full use of its vast features without having to open a Terminal, and then putting in a bunch of commands?

Look no further, Cork is here.

And it is the best Homebrew interface available.

Cork Lets You...

Install Effortlessly

Try out new things.

Cork has a smart way of finding packages, both Formulae and Casks.

Just look them up, press Install, and it's done!

Add Any Tap

Expand you horizons.

A package you want is not available by default? No worries

All you have to do is write in the Tap name, and you'll have access to hundreds more packages.

Keep Brew in Check

Take care of those pesky caches.

Over time, you'll have accumulated a couple of hundred megabytes of various caches.

Not to worry, not only can you see information Brew likes to hide from you, you can also delete all caches and free up lots of space.

Uninstall Anything

As if it was never there.

Have a package that is no longer useful? Just press Uninstall.

As if it was never there to begin with.

See Package Info...

No detail will escape you.

There is much information that Homebrew doesn't make easily available.

With Cork, all of it is in the palm of your hand. From how much package caches are taking up, to all the dependencies. And even a few extras.

...and Tap Info

It can be very difficult to see what your taps are made of.

Until now. Cork shows you all the info you could ever need.

Why Try Out Cork?

As Easy to Use as Can Be

Your grandma can use Cork.

One of the core philosophies of Cork was ease of use.

I did frequent user testing with my mom and grandma to deliver a seamless experience for everyone.

So Lightweight

You won't even know it's there

Cork has been optimized to use as few system resources as possible.

At most, it uses about 0.6% of RAM on the weakest Mac available.

Written For the Modern Mac

Written using the most modern technologies.

Cork uses the most modern Mac-first technologies to deliver a fast and lightweight experience

It's written in mostly SwiftUI, with AppKit sprinkled here and there.

Open Source

You can always peek into the source.

Not sure what's happening under the hood?

Have a look yourself!

Only Cork fulfills all your requirements
