helgafinn/homebrew-tap

Homebrew casks and formulae for software published under helgafinn.

brew tap helgafinn/tap

Tapping is optional: the commands below include the tap name, so Homebrew adds it automatically on first use.

Casks

glisse

Trackpad edge sliders for macOS brightness and volume. Glide the left edge of the trackpad to change brightness, the right edge for volume, with the real system HUD and haptic ticks.

brew install --cask helgafinn/tap/glisse

Source and documentation: helgafinn/glisse · website

Note

Glissé is ad-hoc signed and not notarised, so macOS blocks its first launch. Allow it once under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Security → Open Anyway, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Glissé.app". Control-clicking the app and choosing Open stopped working in macOS 15. The on-screen display additionally needs Accessibility on macOS 26 and later; the full explanation is in the cask caveats and the project README.

Formulae

xcprune

Find unused images, colors, and localization keys in an Xcode project.

brew install helgafinn/tap/xcprune

Notes

Formulae here build from a tagged source release rather than shipping a prebuilt binary, so installing one requires an Xcode toolchain. That keeps the tap simple and avoids publishing bottles that would need rebuilding for every macOS and architecture combination. Casks are different: they install a prebuilt release artefact, so they need no toolchain.

Software in a third-party tap does not appear in the search on brew.sh, which indexes only Homebrew's official homebrew/core and homebrew/cask repositories. brew search finds these packages once the tap is added. Distribution through a third-party tap does not imply Homebrew endorsement or support.
