Cork has a more performant package installation workflow.Cork has support for showing more package metadata.Cork has a more user-friendly way of showing why packages fail do get uninstalled (an alert with an explanation of what happened, compared to Cakebrew just showing the terminal output of a failed command).Cork has support for package caveats (Cakebrew might also be able to show them, but I couldn't figure it out).Cork can pin packages to a specific version.A more comprehensive maintenance workflow (in addition to what Cakebrew can do, Cork can also uninstall orphans, purge caches and delete install bundles of downloaded packages).Cork has some features that Cakebrew lacks:.As an example, the first start of Cakebrew took around three times as long to get to a usable state compared to Cork (2 seconds for Cork, 7 seconds for Cakebrew) At least on my computer (M1 Air), Cork is more performant, with the UI feeling a bit faster.That doesn't mean that Cakebrew is poorly designed at all, and many would prefer the more classic macOS design, but to those that prefer the 'modern' macOS look, Cork is closer Cork is more in line with modern macOS design principles.Cork is in active development, while Cakebrew seems to be abandoned (no commits to the repo since March 2021).

Cork has a free and usable demo, but it is not getting future updates, except critical bug and security fixes You can still compile Cork from source, which makes it inaccessible to less tech-inclined users that want Cork for free.

Right off the bat, Cakebrew is available pre-compiled, while pre-compiled versions of Cork are not.

To install, either open the DMG, drag Strawberry over to Applications, or manually copy the strawberry.I have not used Cakebrew before, so I downloaded it and played around with it a bit, and these are the main things that I have discovered (I'm doing my best to not be biased :D ): Mkdir -p strawberry.app/Contents/FrameworksĬp /usr/local/lib/libsoup-3.0.0.dylib strawberry.app/Contents/Frameworks/Ĭhecks that all libraries are deployed correctly. You need to manually copy libsoup-3.0.0.dylib, as this library needs to be loaded by gstreamer at runtime:
