Homebrew Roundup — 2026-06-01

A roundup-style entry rather than one file per package. From today's Homebrew publish list, these are the formulae and casks worth flagging — short paragraph each, link straight to the brew page.

Formulae

cozypkg — CLI for managing Cozystack packages. Cozystack is the open-source "PaaS-on-Kubernetes" distro that's been quietly accreting mindshare as a self-hostable alternative to the hyperscaler app platforms; a first-class CLI is the kind of surface area that makes it usable from a dev machine instead of only from CI. Worth a look if we end up self-hosting anything beyond the splash sites. brew install cozypkg.
sanity — Command-line interface for Sanity, the headless CMS. Relevant because Sanity is one of the few headless CMSes that takes the "content as structured data with a real schema" idea seriously, which is philosophically adjacent to how we treat the lossless flavored markdown corpus. Not something we'd switch to, but the CLI is useful for any client engagement where Sanity is already the source of truth. brew install sanity.
cc-switch-cli — All-in-one assistant tool for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode and OpenClaw. This is the "manage credentials and configs across multiple agent CLIs" category showing up as a formula. Worth a quick test against our current pattern of per-tool .secrets files; if it handles the multi-account-per-tool case cleanly it could simplify the env-var sprawl. brew install cc-switch-cli.

Casks

agentsmesh — AI agent workforce platform. The "workforce" framing (vs. orchestration, vs. multi-agent) is the new vocabulary cluster — see also Maestri Canvas for Agent Orchestration and Perplexity Computer One Agent Orchestrating 19 Models. Worth installing just to see how it stakes out the category. brew install --cask agentsmesh.
atomcode — Open-source terminal AI coding agent. Another entry in the increasingly crowded terminal-coding-agent field next to Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Opencode, Kiro, Windsurf, herdr. Open-source is the differentiator to verify — check the license and the model-routing story. brew install --cask atomcode.
devin-cli — Coding agent with Devin Cloud integration. Cognition shipping a local CLI that fronts Devin Cloud is a notable move — for the longest time Devin was browser-and-Slack only. Pairs with the Windsurf-now-runs-Devin-locally thread. brew install --cask devin-cli.
dbx — Database management tool. The category (TablePlus, DBeaver, DataGrip, Sequel Ace, Beekeeper) has been static for years; new entrants are rare. Worth a quick install to see whether it's another Electron-with-skins or something more native. brew install --cask dbx.
ghostvm — Native macOS Virtual Machines for Apple Silicon. Apple's Virtualization.framework keeps spawning thin GUI wrappers (UTM, VirtualBuddy, Viable, Tart). GhostVM is the latest. Useful for the "I need a clean macOS sandbox to test an install script" case that comes up whenever we onboard a new repo. brew install --cask ghostvm.
mactools — Menu bar toolbox. Vague name, but the menu-bar-utility-grab-bag category (Bartender, Ice, iStat Menus, One Switch) is one where occasional new entrants do unseat incumbents. brew install --cask mactools.
meetily — Meeting transcription and analysis application. Crowded space (Granola, Fireflies, Otter, Read.ai, tldv) but transcription is the cheapest part — the differentiator is whether the analysis layer is actually useful or another GPT-wrapper summarizer. brew install --cask meetily.
mirai — Inference engine for AI models. Local inference is the live frontier; see also vmlx below. The interesting question for both is which quantization formats and which model families they support out of the box. brew install --cask mirai.
vmlx — Run local AI models on Apple Silicon. Almost certainly MLX-backed (the name is a tell). The MLX-on-Apple-Silicon stack is rapidly catching up to llama.cpp for usability, and a polished GUI shipping via Homebrew is a signal the category is consolidating. Pair-test with mirai. brew install --cask vmlx.
openpencil — Open-source design editor compatible with Figma. The Penpot / Figma-alternative thread continues. "Figma file compatibility" is the part to verify — many open-source design tools claim it and then only support import, not round-trip. brew install --cask openpencil.
yojam — Open links in selected browser, profiles, or apps. The "link router" category (Choosy, Velja, Browserosaurus, Finicky) is small but loyal. For anyone juggling multiple Chrome profiles + Arc + Safari for client work, the right router saves real friction. brew install --cask yojam.
