setapp-cli

Install and manage Setapp apps from the command line.

setapp-cli connects directly to Setapp's internal XPC service to install and uninstall apps programmatically. Save your app list to a bundle file, check it into your dotfiles, and restore it on a new Mac -- like Homebrew, but for Setapp.

Quick start

# Install setapp-cli
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maximlevey/setapp-cli/main/install.sh | bash

# Install a Setapp app
setapp-cli install Proxyman

# Save your installed apps
setapp-cli dump

# Restore them on a new Mac
setapp-cli bundle install
