FAQs
Is Applite really free?
Yes. It is free and open source under the MIT licence. There is no paid version, no subscription and no account to create before you can use it.
Do I need to know Homebrew to use it?
No. Homebrew does the installing in the background, but Applite hides all of it. You browse and click, as you would with any store.
Does Applite collect my data?
No. The app has no accounts, no analytics and no telemetry. It only manages the software you choose to install, update or remove through it.
