Homebrew is een pakketbeheerder die wordt bijgehouden door een groep vrijwilligers, waarbij vanuit verschillende 'taps' (pakketbronnen) 'formula' (softwarepakketten) kunnen worden geïnstalleerd via de terminal. Homebrew begon als een project om een tot dan toe ontbrekende pakketbeheerder aan te bieden op macOS, maar Homebrew biedt al langer ook ondersteuning voor Linux. Inmiddels zijn de Homebrew-repository's op GitHub uitgegroeid tot de grootste qua aantallen bijdragers. Via zogeheten 'casks' is het verder mogelijk om apps en lettertypen te installeren en beheren op een macOS-installatie. Versie 4.5.8 is uitgekomen en de changelog sinds versie 4.5.5 ziet er als volgt uit:
