### What we like

Visual package browse and search. Manage services that ship with packages e.g. start/stop Redis, Postgres, etc. Easy to install and remove packages with a global view of everything installed. Lists disk usage and provides security audit alerts.

### Tradeoffs

Free version provides most of the functionality, but paid upgrade required for some features e.g. package health dashboard. macOS only.
