Field notes
The page lists macOS 13+ on Apple Silicon and offers a DMG, a Homebrew tap, and a shell installer; it also links to GitHub and a changelog. erewh says the app is built in Swift and AppKit, is free without ads or a subscription, and verifies updates with Ed25519 signatures. The DMG is not Apple-notarized; the page says Homebrew and the shell command bypass the first-open permission step.
