If you are like me and forget to run 'brew update && brew upgrade' this small app can help.

BrewAuto sits in your menu bar and checks for outdated Homebrew packages on a schedule (via launchd). You can upgrade everything with one click, or turn on auto-upgrade and let it handle things in the background.

There's a package manager built in where you can pin packages you don't want upgraded, and uninstall stuff you don't need anymore.

It's a native SwiftUI app — no Electron, no dependencies. Just calls 'brew' directly. Install via Homebrew cask or grab the DMG from GitHub.

Any feedback, let me know.
