Your Homebrew, clearly managed

Global NPM packages

See what is installed. Upgrade when you choose.

Home-Cellar shows globally installed NPM packages and lets you upgrade them. It does not inspect or change project node_modules, package.json, or lockfiles.

Installed
npm ls -g --json --depth=0
Outdated
npm outdated -g --json
Upgrade
npm install -g <name>@latest

Health and advisory

A health score you can inspect.

Home-Cellar explains all eight visible health signals instead of asking you to trust a single number.

Coverage is explicit.

Formula advisory checking is opt-in and does not cover casks. Cleanup begins with a dry-run preview so you can review every proposed removal.

Power tools

Go deeper when the work calls for it.

Home-Cellar keeps advanced Homebrew workflows available without making them the starting point.

  • Taps & trustInspect package sources and make trust decisions explicitly.
  • BrewfilesPreview exports and compare imports before applying them.
  • HistorySearch local commands, results, progress, and logs.

Local by design

Nothing extra between you and Homebrew.

Home-Cellar is a native SwiftUI interface over the Homebrew installation already on your Mac. Homebrew is not bundled, replaced, or hidden behind a private service.

No account. No backend. No telemetry. No advertising. No paid tier. No tip jar.

Can I see what the app will run?
