Anvil for macOS

A minimal GUI application to help you install and manage multiple macOS apps in batches using Homebrew. Organize your preferred app groups and streamline macOS app setup with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.

Prefer the command line? Use the Anvil CLI instead.

Installation

1. Download the latest Anvil DMG
2. Open the DMG file
3. Drag Anvil.app to the Applications folder
4. Launch from Applications

Troubleshooting

This is normal for unsigned apps. To open:

1. Right-click (or Control+Click) on Anvil.app
2. Select "Open" from the menu
3. Click "Open" in the dialog

macOS will remember your choice. This is a one-time step.
