Press & Reviews
What the tech community is saying about Taphouse
Jon Henshaw, Coywolf
"After using it and buying a license, I agree — I now consider it a must-have app for managing Homebrew packages on my Mac."
Softpedia
"There's a lot of functionality packed into this application, to the point that calling it a Homebrew GUI isn't truly accurate."
On My Menu Bar
"For developers and power users who want Homebrew's flexibility with a more accessible interface, Taphouse delivers exactly what it promises."
FunBlocks
"The most comprehensive GUI available for Homebrew on macOS today. It transforms package management from a necessary chore into a managed, transparent process."
What users are saying
Real feedback from Mac users who switched to Taphouse
Reddit User
"Thank you for Taphouse! It's the most feature rich option available now and definitely worth paying for to have all the features. I was a big fan of BrewerX until the app stopped working for me and the developer couldn't be bothered to help me figure out the problem. Taphouse is the most capable of them all, and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all at this point."
Patrick M.
"I wanted to take a moment to send you a quick email to say thank you for creating such an awesome piece of software! I've seen my share of Homebrew GUI apps for macOS over the past few years. None of them comes close to being as useful as Taphouse."
Like Flatpak, but for Mac
If you've used Flatpak or GNOME Software on Linux, you'll feel right at home. Taphouse brings that same visual package management experience to macOS.
