[Feature]: Make Flocon available in Homebrew #454

Description

What do you want to see in Flocon?

Hello @florent37 ,

First of all, thank you for working in this amazing library. I have a small feature request to widen its usage across my company.

Problem

Currently, updating Flocon on macOS requires:

  1. Manually downloading the new release from GitHub
  2. Dealing with macOS security warnings (Gatekeeper)
  3. Manually authorizing the app through System Settings → Security

This process is tedious and error-prone, especially given the project's active development pace.

Proposed Solution

Add Flocon to Homebrew Cask, which would allow:

Installation

brew install --cask flocon

Updates

brew upgrade flocon

Why This Makes Sense

Active Maintenance: The project is actively maintained with frequent releases (v1.6.0 → v1.6.3 released within 5 days in December 2025)

Developer Tool: Flocon is specifically targeted at developers, who commonly use Homebrew

Simplified Updates: Homebrew handles versioning and updates automatically

Better Security UX: Homebrew-installed apps bypass some Gatekeeper friction
