Homebrew tap for Kaflow Search

This tap installs Kaflow Search, a desktop search engine for locally indexed Kafka messages.

Install

Kaflow Search requires macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later. Homebrew automatically selects the Apple Silicon or Intel DMG for the current Mac.

brew install --cask whsoul/tap/kaflow-search

To uninstall:

brew uninstall --cask whsoul/tap/kaflow-search

First launch on macOS

Kaflow Search is not yet signed with an Apple Developer certificate or notarized. On first launch, macOS may show:

"Kaflow Search" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

Use macOS's built-in approval flow:

1. Launch Kaflow Search from Applications and click OK when macOS blocks it.
2. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security.
3. Under Security, click Open Anyway, then confirm the next prompt.

The Open Anyway button appears only after macOS has blocked a launch. Some setups may ask twice; repeat the same System Settings approval if needed. Exact wording varies by macOS version.

This tap does not remove quarantine attributes, disable Gatekeeper, or change macOS security settings.

Updating the cask for a new release

1. Publish both macOS DMGs and SHA256SUMS in the Kaflow Search GitHub Release.

2. In Casks/kaflow-search.rb, update version.

3. Copy the Apple Silicon (macOS_arm64.dmg) and Intel (macOS_intel.dmg) SHA-256 values from that release's SHA256SUMS into the matching sha256 arm: and sha256 intel: fields.

4. Verify the URLs and checksums, then run:

   brew audit --cask --online kaflow-search
   brew install --cask kaflow-search
   brew uninstall --cask kaflow-search

Release downloads must come from the official Kaflow Search releases.
