## What Jamie wrote

I wonder if a UI for [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) has been on the roadmap for a while or is it new as more people are finding they need these kinds of tools for agent work they are doing? Agents love command line tools and Homebrew is by far the best way to get them on your Mac.

I've used Homebrew for years and have never even had the wish of an app to manage it but I installed it to try it and I liked it. The discovery of popular packages that I'm not using was actually helpful. I also wonder if this may open up Homebrew as a distribution channel for more software. There are a couple of regular apps (not tools) that I install and update with Homebrew and it works great. I moved Visual Studio Code into the Homebrew path using the app!
