Homebrew for Enterprise
The definitive on-premise alternative to SaaS tools. Distribute developer tools securely through an air-gapped proxy, enforce strict policies, and audit every installation.
Features
Why EnterpriseBrew?
Stay compliant with IT security policies without compromising developer productivity.
Full Audit Trail
Every installation is logged with username, hostname, timestamp, and architecture.
Cached Downloads
Bottle files are stored on the proxy; after the first install, no CDN calls are made.
Auto Dependency Resolution
Dependencies are resolved automatically — only the packages you're missing get downloaded.
Policy Engine
Allow or block by package, category, license, or minimum version — blocked dependencies are rejected too.
Multi-Platform
Supports macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel, Linux ARM64, and x86_64.
Admin Dashboard
Who installed what, which packages are popular? Real-time web-based visibility.
Single Sign-On & Provisioning
Sign in with your company identity provider. User accounts and access are created and removed automatically, protected by strong multi-factor authentication.
Fleet Inventory & Remote Commands
Enrolled devices report their installed packages. Run brew commands across machines or MDM groups — no SSH.
SIEM & Webhook Streaming
Stream every install and security event to your SIEM, chat, or ticketing tools in real time.
Compliance Reporting
Scheduled reports and a verifiable audit trail give auditors everything they need, on time.
Self-Service Catalog
A curated app catalog and built-in request flow get developers approved software, fast.
Vulnerability Gate
Packages are checked against the latest known vulnerability data before they're allowed to install.
Audit Log
Full visibility into every install
Know who installed what, when, and from which machine — in real time.

MDM Integration
Plug into Jamf, Intune & more
Already running Jamf Pro, Intune, Hexnode, JumpCloud, Fleet or Iru? EnterpriseBrew works with the MDM you already have — when a device enrolls or a policy finishes, your Homebrew environment stays in sync, with no manual steps.
Whichever MDM you use, our team connects it to EnterpriseBrew during onboarding.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything IT and security teams ask before rolling out EnterpriseBrew.
What is EnterpriseBrew?
EnterpriseBrew is a Homebrew package manager proxy for enterprise fleets. It acts as a caching proxy between developer machines and Homebrew's package registry, enabling IT and security teams to control, audit, and manage macOS and Linux package installations across the entire organization — without changing how developers use the brew command.
How do I block specific Homebrew packages in my organization?
EnterpriseBrew includes a policy engine that lets administrators create allow and block lists for specific Homebrew formulae. When a developer tries to install a blocked package (such as nmap or netcat), EnterpriseBrew intercepts the request and rejects it with a configurable reason. Policies are managed through the admin dashboard and apply instantly across all connected developer machines.
What is the difference between EnterpriseBrew and using Homebrew directly?
Standard Homebrew downloads packages directly from GitHub and other public sources with no corporate oversight. EnterpriseBrew adds a control layer: all downloads route through a managed or self-hosted proxy, every install is logged with the user and hostname, and packages can be allowed or blocked by policy. Developers still use the same brew workflow — only the download source changes.
