Give 'Applite' for Mac a Shot
Many fantastic Mac programs aren't available in the Mac App Store, leaving you to find and install them manually. Applite is a free Mac app that functions as an unofficial store for these programs.
Technology aficionados recognize that the simplest way to install Mac software and maintain its updates is through Homebrew, a command-line package manager for macOS. Applite is essentially a graphical interface for Homebrew's cask, which enables the download and installation of applications not driven by the command line.
If you're perplexed by the previous sentence, don't fret- you likely won't need to worry about it. Simply install Applite and launch the application. When prompted for the "Brew Executable Path," choose the appropriate option if you're already a Homebrew user; otherwise, select "Applite's installation."
Applite will then be functional, and you can use it like any other app store - browsing and installing anything intriguing or helpful.

In addition to installing applications, Applite can also manage them. You can uninstall programs, or simply update your existing applications - an excellent way to reap the rewards of Homebrew without needing to handle the command line or even fully comprehend what Homebrew is.
