Install BrewPulse without turning off Gatekeeper.

What the latest release includes

The latest BrewPulse release finds Homebrew, shows your package count and available updates, and lets you update one package or all of them. You see the exact command first, and BrewPulse keeps Homebrew's output afterward. App updates also wait for your approval.

Users on 0.1.0 Beta 3 or the affected 0.2.0 build need one final manual download before in-app updates can take over.

Verify the download

Download the DMG and matching checksum into the same folder. In Terminal, run the command for your Mac:

Continue only if the result says OK. The checksum confirms that the disk image matches the GitHub release. It does not replace Apple signing or notarization.

Install the latest release

1. 1

   Open the verified DMG and drag BrewPulse.app to Applications.

2. 2

   Try to open BrewPulse. macOS will block it.

3. 3

   Open System Settings, choose Privacy & Security, then select Open Anyway for BrewPulse.

4. 4

   Open BrewPulse again and confirm the warning.

Read Apple's Open Anyway instructions

Remove BrewPulse

Turn off launch at login, quit BrewPulse, and move the app from Applications to Trash.

BrewPulse does not install a privileged helper, daemon, browser extension, or kernel extension. Removing it leaves Homebrew and its packages alone.

Build from source

If you'd rather build it yourself, you can use Xcode to make the latest development version.
