The original
Applite
Install and update Mac applications through a graphical Homebrew interface.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Applite.
UniGetUI
One graphical interface for WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop, pip, npm and a dozen other package managers, so updates happen in one place.
UniGetUI is an MIT-licensed graphical front end covering Homebrew plus many other package managers, though its macOS build is newer and less proven.
Homebrew
Package manager for macOS and Linux with formulae and GUI app casks.
Homebrew itself is a command line package manager for macOS and Linux covering both formulae and casks, requiring typed commands and Xcode command line tools.
Also worth comparing
