xmasyx/tap

Homebrew casks for the apps published at github.com/xmasyx. All of them are native macOS apps for Apple Silicon, signed with the project's own certificate and not notarized by Apple.

brew install --cask xmasyx/tap/nosleep    # keeps the Mac awake until the work is done
brew install --cask xmasyx/tap/kalamos    # local dictation, nothing leaves the Mac
brew install --cask xmasyx/tap/otium      # locks the screen until you do an exercise
brew install --cask xmasyx/tap/t4a        # GPU-drawn terminal for agent sessions
brew install --cask xmasyx/tap/limbo      # clipboard, shelf and converter in the notch

Because the apps are not notarized, macOS refuses to open a fresh download until you clear the quarantine flag once (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway does the same):

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/<App>.app

You do it once: the in-app updater clears the flag on every new copy it installs.

Already installed the app from a zip or the install.sh of its repo? Take it over with brew once:

brew install --cask --force xmasyx/tap/<app>

Updating

Each app has a Check for updates button in its own panel: it runs brew upgrade for you and relaunches. From the terminal it is the usual:

brew upgrade --cask xmasyx/tap/<app>

How this tap stays current

Scripts/bump.sh reads the latest GitHub release of each app and rewrites the cask's version and sha256. A workflow runs it every six hours (and on demand) and commits the result, after brew audit --cask --strict on every file it changed. There is nothing to maintain by hand.
