About:
Overt is an open-source app store for macOS that allows users to discover, install, and manage applications from various sources through a unified interface. It provides a streamlined alternative to the Mac App Store, focusing on transparency and user control. The tool simplifies software management by aggregating updates and installations in one place.
Key Features:
  • Unified app discovery and installation
  • Open-source and transparent architecture
  • Simplified update management
  • Support for multiple software sources
Use Cases:
  • Discovering and installing open-source Mac applications
  • Managing software updates outside of the Mac App Store

  • Mac App Store – The official Mac App Store is a closed ecosystem, while Overt provides an open-source alternative with broader software availability.
