## Project history and usage

Homebrew.app provides native graphical access to Homebrew package management.

### Project history

BrewUI is Homebrew's official macOS graphical interface, implemented with Swift and SwiftUI and distributed under AGPL-3.0.

### Adoption history

The project explicitly targets users who prefer graphical package management. Its README documents installation through Homebrew Cask; it does not establish a dated adoption history.

### How it is used

Discover, install, update, and manage Homebrew packages through the graphical interface.

### Why package nerds care

BrewUI brings an official graphical interface to Homebrew while exposing the underlying package operations. It uses the brew command and Homebrew JSON API as its data sources.

### Timeline
