Roadmap

Roadmap

Current: v1.1.1 - Reliability

  • Verified bundle version/build, native architectures, resources, and signatures
  • One coordinated Homebrew mutation at a time, including metadata, taps, and pinning
  • Cancellable reads, safety timeouts, and bounded process output
  • Background JSON saving, Retry for storage failures, and pending-save handling on quit
  • Stale-detail protection and visible errors when dependent checks fail
  • Version-specific Sparkle appcast generation without unpublished delta files

v1.1 - Report, Brewfile & Pinning

  • Report a problem as a GitHub issue or email you review and send yourself
  • Compare a Brewfile with this Mac and install only what is missing
  • Pin formulae to keep their versions
  • ⌘1…⌘9 to switch pages
  • German interface

v1.0 — Native macOS App

Brewwery 1.0 is a complete native rewrite in Swift:

  • SwiftUI and AppKit app with every screen and workflow from 0.9.7
  • Universal binary for Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 14 or later
  • Developer ID signing and Apple notarization
  • Automatic app updates with Sparkle
  • A typed Homebrew command layer with no shell, and cancellation that stops every child process
  • Test suites that never touch the real Homebrew, plus an opt-in live suite

Next

  • Release QA - hardware verification on Intel and macOS 14, a full manual VoiceOver pass, and installed-release Sparkle update/relaunch checks. Universal binary verification is not a substitute for these tests.
  • Persistence follow-up - initial JSON reads and manual History export still run synchronously. Background writes do not protect pending changes from force-quit or power loss.
  • French, Spanish, and Portuguese — the next interface languages, followed by the other languages of brewwery.com 

Priorities follow feedback. Suggest a feature in GitHub Discussions  or pick up an issue .
