What is TopOff?

A simple macOS menu bar app for one-click Homebrew updates with automatic background checking.

Features:

  • Automatic update checking — Periodically checks for outdated packages in the background
  • Smart icon status — Full mug when up-to-date, half-full when updates are available, animated spinner when actively updating
  • Real-time progress — See exactly which package is being updated as it happens — click the menu bar during updates to watch live
  • Package details at a glance — See outdated package names and version changes directly in the menu
  • One-click updates — Run brew update && brew upgrade from your menu bar
  • Selective updates — Update or skip individual packages (enable in Settings)
  • Greedy mode — Force-update apps that auto-update (Chrome, Slack, etc.)
  • Admin retry for protected packages — If a cask needs admin access, TopOff prompts for your password and retries automatically
  • Auto cleanup — Automatically runs brew cleanup after upgrades to free disk space
  • Configurable check interval — Check every hour, 4 hours (default), 12 hours, 24 hours, or manually
  • See what changed — View upgraded packages and freed disk space in the menu
  • Update notifications — Checks GitHub for new releases on launch and lets you know when an update is available
  • Launch at login — Always have TopOff ready
