Fix release: operations that need administrator rights now work.

Website: https://monzdigital.github.io/brewer/

What's fixed

  • Native password prompt for sudo - mas upgrades 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/brewer

or 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).
