Cork

Cork provides a graphical interface for managing Homebrew on macOS, allowing users to search for, install, and uninstall both formulae and casks without using the command line. It also lets users add additional taps, view detailed package information such as dependencies and cache size, and clear cached files to reclaim disk space. The app integrates Homebrew’s service management, enabling start, stop, and status checks for background services.

The tool targets macOS users who prefer a visual workflow for package management, especially those who may find the terminal cumbersome. Its lightweight design aims to keep memory usage low, and it supports multiple languages, including English, Chinese, Russian, and French, to accommodate a broader audience.

Cork is built primarily with SwiftUI and some AppKit components, optimized for modern macOS versions (13 and later). It is open source, can be compiled from source, and pre‑compiled builds are distributed through a private Homebrew tap. The application focuses on ease of use while exposing Homebrew’s functionality in a concise, GUI‑driven format.
