Show HN: Brewer X, a native macOS client for Homebrew
Note: Cork is not open source. Cork is under the Commons Clause, which bans distribution. As of commit 404943c, the README.md of Cork mistakenly refers to Cork as "open-source" [1]:
> Cork is licensed under Commons Clause.
> This means that Cork open-source and you can do whatever you want with Cork's source, like modifying it, contributing to it etc., but you can't sell or distribute Cork or modified versions of it.
even though the very FAQ for the Commons Clause asserts otherwise [2]:
> Is this “Open Source”?
> “Open source”, has a specific definition that was written years ago and is stewarded by the Open Source Initiative, which approves Open Source licenses. Applying the Commons Clause to an open source project will mean the source code is available, and meets many of the elements of the Open Source Definition, such as free access to source code, freedom to modify, and freedom to re-distribute, but not all of them. So to avoid confusion, it is best not to call Commons Clause software “open source.”

What are your favorite open source apps?
I use Cork every day. It’s an open source GUI for the Homebrew package manager. I like that it has some features that not even Homebrew itself has (like tagging packages and only showing those installed by you, filtering out the ones installed only as dependencies)

Homebrew
There are some apps that let you use Homebrew without touching the terminal at all, Cork has been making rounds recently as a good app for it. Cakebrew is also an option, tho I don’t think it’s as good as Cork by far (the performance is pretty bad and the app isn’t as polished and nice to use as Cork), and Cakebrew is also abandoned.

The best Mac Apps to unlock your max potential (recommended by users of r/MacOs )
Because you mentioned Homebrew, I’d recommend everyone who doesn’t want to use it through the terminal to look into Cork, which is a very nice GUI for it. It’s still pretty new, but I’m impressed with it. It also adds some pretty nifty features that Homebrew doesn’t have (like package tagging, or clearing Homebrew folders that don’t get cleared by it)
