Three steps, then Terminal.
MacKit is a shopping list for your Mac. You pick apps in the browser, and one command installs all of them.
- 1
Pick your apps
Search thousands of apps or browse the categories. Everything you pick collects in the Dock, which is saved only in this browser.
- 2
Copy one command
It downloads MacKit’s installer, checks its checksum, and installs only the apps you picked.
- 3
Paste it into Terminal
Each app downloads and installs on its own, and you get a summary at the end. If your Mac needs a helper tool first, the installer explains what it is and asks before adding it.
To share a setup, copy its link from the Dock. The link holds the app list itself, so nothing is saved on a server.
Under the hood
MacKit is a front end for Homebrew, the open-source package manager for macOS. Apps are Homebrew casks and command-line tools are formulae.
The installer runs brew install for each package in your list. If Homebrew is missing, it asks before running Homebrew’s official installer. Everything MacKit installs is a normal Homebrew package, so brew upgrade and brew uninstall work as usual.
Any app’s details show its Homebrew ID and the manual install command.
