Brew Extension for Raycast

Search and manage your brew casks and formulae from Raycast.

Homebrew 5.0 Compatibility

This extension is compatible with Homebrew 5.0 and later. Key changes in Homebrew 5.0:

• Concurrent Downloads: Homebrew 5.0 enables parallel downloads by default. If you experience issues, you can disable this in the extension preferences.
• Internal API: Homebrew 5.0 introduces a more efficient internal JSON API. You can opt-in to this experimental feature in preferences.
• Deprecated Flags: The --no-quarantine and --quarantine flags are deprecated in Homebrew 5.0.
• macOS Support: Homebrew 5.0 no longer supports macOS Mojave (10.14) and older.

For more details, see the Homebrew 5.0 release notes.

Performance

This extension uses several optimizations to provide a fast experience:

• Two-Phase Loading: Installed packages load quickly with basic info, then fetch full metadata in the background.
• Lazy Loading: Package details are fetched on-demand when viewing, not upfront.
• Internal API Option: When enabled, downloads are 96% smaller (~1 MB vs ~30 MB for formulae).
