About Macsmith
Macsmith brings command-line developer tools into one native macOS GUI for inspecting and managing a local development environment. Manage Homebrew packages and services, switch runtimes with mise and nvm, run Docker through Colima, inspect Lima virtual machines, and start or stop local PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB services. Find which processes are using network ports, manage SSH keys, edit hosts files and shell aliases, and configure local HTTPS with Caddy and mkcert. The app also includes DNS utilities, ngrok and cloudflared tunnel controls, AWS CLI profile and rclone remote views, and developer cache cleanup. Inspect tool state for free; a one-time Pro license is required to install, update, start, stop, or otherwise change supported tools. Macsmith runs on Intel and Apple silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later.

Homebrew
The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux). The script explains what it will do and then pauses before it does it. Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t. Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local (on macOS Intel). Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like. Trivially create your own Homebrew packages. It’s all Git and Ruby underneath, so hack away with the knowledge that you can easily revert your modifications and merge upstream updates. Homebrew formulae are simple Ruby scripts. Homebrew complements macOS (or your Linux system). Install your RubyGems with gem and their dependencies with brew. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software. Making a cask is as simple as creating a formula.
