+Unfortunately not. Supporting Homebrew requires distributing apps outside the App Store, and that involves significant overhead: hosting, auto-updating, and dual publishing. The demand simply doesn't justify these efforts.

### You are doing a lot of open source, why are only some of your apps open source? {#why-not-oss}
I open source [some of my apps](https://github.com/search?q=user%3Asindresorhus+language%3Aswift+topic%3Aapp+archived%3Afalse), but not all, for a few key reasons. First, I use specialized tools (internal framework) to speed up app development, which are not suitable for sharing. Additionally, past experiences with open sourcing apps have led to clones of my apps appearing on the App Store, which is problematic. Also, community contributions, though well-intentioned, often don't match the high quality standards I set for my apps. As a compromise, I tend to open source the [reusable building blocks](https://github.com/search?q=user%3Asindresorhus+topic%3Aswift-package+archived%3Afalse), allowing community involvement while maintaining the quality and uniqueness of my apps.
