🚀 The fastest way to set up your new Mac
Skip the hassle of manually downloading apps. Just pick what you need and let Homebrew handle the rest.

InstallKit helps you install all your favorite Mac apps at once using Homebrew.

Instead of:

1. Searching for each app online
2. Downloading installers one by one
3. Dragging apps to your Applications folder repeatedly

You can:

1. Pick all the apps you want from InstallKit
2. Copy one command
3. Paste it in Terminal and let Homebrew install everything

Perfect for:

• Setting up a new Mac — Get all your apps installed quickly
• Reinstalling macOS — Restore your setup without hunting for downloads
• Sharing your setup — Send friends a link with your recommended apps

1. Go to installkit.app
2. Browse through 200+ popular Mac apps organized by category
3. Check the apps you want to install
4. Copy the generated Homebrew command
5. Paste it in your Terminal

Already have a Mac with apps installed via Homebrew? Generate a shareable link with all your apps:

curl -fsSL installkit.app/s | bash

This scans your installed Homebrew packages and creates a personalized InstallKit link. Use it to:

• Back up your app list — Save the link before wiping your Mac
• Share with others — Send the link to friends so they can install the same apps
• Set up another Mac — Open the link on your new machine and install everything in one go

You need Homebrew installed on your Mac. If you don't have it yet:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
