About Cakebrew
Cakebrew puts common Homebrew tasks in a window: search formulae, install, uninstall and upgrade them, manage taps, update Homebrew and run cleanup. It is handy for people who use Homebrew but prefer not to remember every command.
Its most recent release, 1.3, dates from March 2021 and the repository has seen little activity since. It still requires a working Homebrew install, and newer Homebrew features may not be reflected in its interface.
