macpak is an interactive wrapper around Homebrew for macOS. It lets you browse, install, and uninstall Homebrew packages through a fuzzy-finder interface with live previews, so you spend less time typing commands and more time getting things done. It also includes a zapper that can completely remove applications installed outside of Homebrew, along with their leftovers.

Can't select text from the info panel of search results. Should be able to. It's table stakes functionality.
All right, good to know! I'll try it again now that I know this.
Awesome, let me know how it goes. Happy to help if you run into anything..
Homebrew is dangerous trash. Don't use it.
It originated and sounded like a curated package manager, not that that means anything today at all. I don't know when it was officially dropped in anyone's expectations, but homebrew is nothing more than a `git clone` run, and abstracting that is just dangerous for the user.
