Brew Tools for Alfred

An Alfred workflow with two Terminal/tmux helpers for Homebrew:

• Brew Updater (brewup) updates Homebrew, upgrades formulae and casks, optionally updates Mac App Store apps via mas, and runs cleanup.
• Brew Adopter (brewa) scans installed macOS apps and helps adopt matching apps into Homebrew Cask management.

Requirements

brew install tmux

Recommended:

brew install gum jq

Optional:

brew install fzf mas

gum gives the Brew Adopter a nicer TUI. fzf is used as a fallback. mas enables Mac App Store update support in Brew Updater.

Install

Download/import Brew Tools.alfredworkflow into Alfred.

Keywords

Keyword	Action
brewup	Update Homebrew, upgrade formulae/casks, optionally run mas upgrade, and cleanup
brewa	Find manually installed apps that can be adopted by Homebrew Cask

Brew Adopter ignore list

Ignored casks are stored at:

~/.config/alfred-brew-adopt/ignored-casks.txt

Delete or edit that file to unignore items.

Notes

The workflow creates temporary scripts in /tmp, opens a dedicated Terminal/tmux session, and cleans up after itself.
