Taphouse 1.3 Since launch, we've added: CVE vulnerability scanning for all your packages, a Health Dashboard with system score, orphaned dependency cleanup, leftover file detection, duplicate app finder, and pre-install inspection to see exactly what a package will install. Plus: 6 languages, Mac App Store integration, third-party app updates (Sparkle/GitHub/Electron), code signing verification, Brewfile export, and menu bar mode with auto-updates. The complete Homebrew GUI for macOS.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I launched Taphouse just 2 weeks ago as a simple Homebrew GUI. Since then, I've shipped 35 builds based on user feedback.
The biggest additions:
🔒 Security Scanner — scans all your packages against the CVE database. Turns out I had 3 vulnerable packages myself.
🩺 Health Dashboard — one screen showing outdated packages, orphans, cache bloat, and doctor issues with a health score.
🧹 Cleanup tools — find orphaned dependencies, leftover files from uninstalled apps, and duplicates (same app from Homebrew + App Store).
🔍 Pre-install inspection — see exactly what a cask will install before you install it. Background services? Sudo required? Now you'll know.
Built natively in Swift for macOS. Free tier available, Pro unlocks everything for €9.99.
Would love your feedback — I'm shipping updates almost daily!
