malt

Tiny, fast Homebrew-compatible package manager without the overhead

Desktopfreeglobal

malt is a free, open-source package manager that reuses Homebrew's entire package ecosystem (bottles and formulas) through a tiny, ~3ms-cold-start native binary instead of Homebrew's heavier Ruby-based runtime. It's aimed at macOS and Linux users who want Homebrew's package selection with a lighter, faster tool.
