What's new in version 1.4.2

Fixes
  • Applite's built-in Homebrew works again. Homebrew retired the master branch Applite downloaded it from on 4 September, which broke new installs immediately and existing ones within three days.
  • A broken installation repairs itself. If yours is already affected, just open Applite — it repairs in place and keeps every app you have installed.
  • Updates are detected again. 1.4.0 could show an empty Updates tab while updates were available. Reported by @TianLi-520, traced by @bunnysayzz. (#159)
New Features
  • See the download size before you install. Get Info now shows how large an app's download is.

Allows you to manage only apps installed via Homebrew casks, not formulae. A little buggy. Also lets you explore other available casks by category, such as browsers.

Please note: This manages only Homebrew applications. You must have Homebrew installed and have added apps ("casks"). This does not work on App Store applications, or third-party application downloads.
