- **Clean and simple UI**: Designed for non-technical users.
- **Free and open-source**: No cost, no tracking, fully transparent.
Applite uses the Homebrew package manager under the hood. Homebrew is a free, open-source project that simplifies installing developer tools and desktop apps on macOS.
**Which apps are available on Applite?**
Any app listed in the Homebrew Catalog can be found on Applite. Use the search function to discover all available apps.
**Is it safe?**
macOS built-in protections (Gatekeeper and XProtect) will scan apps for potential malware when first opened and alert you if anything suspicious is detected. Additionally, most apps in the Homebrew Catalog are notarized, meaning they come from registered developers.
These apps may not be sandboxed, allowing them to affect your system with elevated permissions. However, exercise caution, as some apps—especially those with few downloads—could contain malware. Applite itself is also not sandboxed.
