Brewer 1.0.2
Fix release: operations that need administrator rights now work.
Website: https://monzdigital.github.io/brewer/
What's fixed
- Native password prompt for sudo -
masupgrades of Mac App Store apps
(which are owned by root) and pkg-based cask installers previously failed
with "sudo: a terminal is required". Brewer now provides a SUDO_ASKPASS
helper, so these operations show the standard macOS administrator-password
dialog instead. The password goes directly from Apple's dialog to sudo -
Brewer never sees or stores it, and Cancel aborts the operation cleanly. - First-launch documentation now matches macOS 15+ Gatekeeper (System
Settings → Privacy & Security → "Open Anyway"); the right-click bypass no
longer exists there.
Install
brew install --cask --no-quarantine monzdigital/tap/breweror download Brewer-1.0.2.zip below, unzip, and drag Brewer.app to
/Applications. This build is not yet notarized, so macOS blocks the first
launch: open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click
"Open Anyway" (one time).
Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later and Homebrew.
Universal binary (Apple Silicon & Intel).
