InstallKit is a web-based tool designed specifically for macOS users who want to streamline their computer setup process. It serves as a comprehensive catalog browser for Homebrew packages, allowing users to quickly find and select the applications they need.
The product features categorized browsing across multiple application types including browsers, development tools, productivity apps, communication software, media applications, utilities, security tools, design software, CLI tools, programming languages, and package managers. Users can search through over 10,000 formulae and casks available in the Homebrew catalogue to find specific applications.
The tool works by providing an intuitive interface where users can browse or search for applications, select the ones they want to install, and then generates the appropriate brew install command automatically. This eliminates the need for manual command typing and reduces the chance of installation errors.
The primary benefit is significantly faster Mac setup times, transforming what typically takes hours into a process that can be completed in minutes. It's particularly useful when setting up a new Mac or when needing to install multiple applications simultaneously.
The target audience includes macOS users, developers, and anyone who regularly uses Homebrew for application management. The tool integrates with Homebrew's extensive package repository and is accessible through any web browser.
