On November 8, 2026, the top three are DeepSeek Harness, Grok Bot and Homebrew. Rodyti visus (30), or how it's ranked.

The most popular apps barely move from week to week. The fun is in the ones climbing. So this list asks a different question: which apps got far more installs in the last 30 days than they usually get in a month?

An app that triples its usual month shows up as "3x". New apps rise fast here, since their year is mostly this month. That's the point: it is where you spot the next app everyone talks about.

How this ranking works
  • Source: Homebrew's public install analytics (formulae.brew.sh), which count installs by people who leave Homebrew's anonymous analytics on. App names and descriptions come from each Homebrew cask.
  • Read on: November 8, 2026. The 30 days run from October 9, 2026 to November 8, 2026. MacPip reads it again every week.
  • Ranked by: installs in the last 30 days, divided by the average month of the last 365 days. Nobody can pay for a place, and MacPip apps get no boost.
  • Included: Mac apps (an .app bundle) with at least 3,000 installs in the last year and 500 in the last 30 days, so a handful of installs can't look like a trend.

Which Mac app is trending right now?

DeepSeek Harness: its installs in the 30 days to November 8, 2026 were 9.7 times its average month of the past year. Then Grok Bot and Homebrew.

How is "trending" worked out?

For each app we take its installs in the last 30 days and divide them by its average month over the last 365 days. 1x is a normal month. 3x means three times its usual pace.

Why do new apps rank so high?

An app that came out a few months ago has few installs spread over the year, so a good month stands out. That is fair: a new app gaining fast is exactly what trending means.
