About:
mas is a command-line interface for the Mac App Store, enabling users to search, install, update, and manage applications directly from the terminal. It automates app management workflows and integrates with scripts, providing a powerful alternative to the graphical App Store interface.
Key Features:
  • Search and install Mac App Store applications
  • Update all or specific installed apps
  • List installed apps with version info
  • Sign into your Apple ID from the CLI
  • Integrate app management into shell scripts
Use Cases:
  • Automating software setup and updates in development environments
  • Managing App Store applications on headless macOS servers or CI systems
  • Quickly installing or searching for apps without leaving the terminal
Alternatives:
  • brew – Homebrew installs open-source tools and binaries; mas specifically manages commercial Mac App Store apps.
