Tap trust the way Homebrew recommends, and no installed package left out of view.

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

New

  • Trust just what you installed. Homebrew only loads packages from
    third-party taps you trust, and its Tap Trust guide recommends trusting the
    specific formula or cask instead of a whole tap. On the Taps page, an
    untrusted tap now offers Trust Installed, which trusts only the formulae
    and casks you installed from it (brew trust --formula / --cask). Trusting
    the whole tap is still there, behind a confirmation that explains what it
    covers. Each tap row names the installed packages that still wait for trust.
  • Packages from untrusted taps no longer vanish. Homebrew leaves them out of
    brew info --installed, so earlier releases never listed them at all. Brewer
    now reads Homebrew's install receipts, the way brew doctor does, and
    Installed, Formulae, Casks and Updates show which packages are hidden, with a
    link to Taps.

Changed

  • Search: "Add Tap & Install" no longer trusts the whole tap. Installing by
    the full owner/tap/package name makes Homebrew trust just that package.
  • The Add Tap dialog explains the difference between "Add & Trust" and
    "Add Only".

Install

brew install --cask monzdigital/tap/brewer

or download Brewer-1.3.0.zip below, unzip, and drag Brewer.app to
/Applications.

Brewer is not notarized yet, so macOS blocks the first launch, and the first
launch after each update: open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll
down and click "Open Anyway", or clear the quarantine flag in Terminal:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Brewer.app

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later and Homebrew.
Universal binary (Apple Silicon & Intel). Building from source with the macOS
27 SDK needs Xcode's toolchain; make app picks it automatically.
