OpenAdd Lifestack Mac app to Homebrew (cask)
I rely on Homebrew for installing and updating all my Mac apps, which keeps my setup scriptable and consistent. However, Lifestack isn't currently available as a Homebrew cask. This means it's the one app I have to manually download and update from the website. Each time, I need to check for a new version, download the .dmg file, and move it to Applications. There's no brew upgrade option available. Impact Whenever I set up a new machine or reinstall everything, Lifestack requires a manual step outside of my Brewfile workflow. This also makes it easy to miss updates, as manually handling .dmg files often slips through the cracks. Current workaround Downloading the .dmg file from lifestack.ai and manually installing or updating it. What I'm asking for Please publish Lifestack as a Homebrew cask (brew install --cask lifestack), so it can be installed and updated through brew upgrade. Since the app is already distributed as a signed .dmg file, which is the format casks use, this would primarily involve submitting a cask definition (version, URL, sha256, app name) to the homebrew-cask repository or managing a custom tap. Adding a livecheck block would also allow Homebrew to detect new releases automatically. Who benefits Developers and power users who manage their Mac apps with Homebrew and Brewfiles. A common practice among your target audience. Would save time and effort :heart_hands: Reducing friction for updates could also improve user retention. I'd be happy to help with testing the cask if needed.
