⚠️ Deprecated — this version is superseded. Please update to Catalyst 1.3.
Catalyst 1.0
- Catalyst is now free. Every feature, with no licence to buy, no trial to run out, and nothing behind an upgrade screen.
- No account and no sign-in. Open the app and it works — there's nothing to register and no email address for us to hold.
- The source is public under the GPLv3. You can read exactly what Catalyst does on your machine, change it, or build it yourself.
- Catalyst no longer sends any analytics or crash reports. The only things it fetches are the package catalogs it shows you and the update feed.
- Manage pip packages, Homebrew formulae and casks, and virtual environments from one place.
- Keep an eye on the machine — disk and battery vitals, cruft cleanup, network diagnostics, startup items, and SSH keys.
- Developer tools built in: SmartShortcuts, aliases, a PATH editor, a readable Git graph, and searchable terminal history.
- Snapshot your entire setup and rebuild it on another Mac.
