问题
Is there a way to obtain a list (possibly with descriptions) of all the casks installable with Homebrew Cask?
回答1:
The new way to list all installable cask packages is:
brew search --casks
The man page for brew has the following information:
search --casks
Display all locally available casks (including tapped ones). No online search is performed.
回答2:
Brew search now has a --desc flag.
This lists all of them with the description:
brew search --casks --desc ''
回答3:
List using a browser
- Visit the website https://formulae.brew.sh/
- Use
*as search string and all the casks will be displayed
List using the command line
for cask in $(brew search); do
brew cask info $cask;
done
回答4:
Run brew search without argument to list all of them. You won’t get descriptions, thought.
回答5:
There's a new GUI that enables quick browsing on all the Homebrew packages.
You might want to try out Cakebrew
Also worth noting the analytics data of the top downloads of all cask packages in the past 365 days: https://formulae.brew.sh/analytics/

Slight modification to the answer above:
for cask in $(brew search --casks); do
brew cask info $cask;
done

The installable list is 7000+ casks. You, of course, can grep the result.., but more practical is to list some subset of the installable casks using search command:
brew search [YOUR-SEARCH-SUBSTRING]
It will print you 2 groups. The first group will be installable ==> Formulae, if any. The second group will be ==> Casks
For example, if you are looking for Beaver DB browser, you can type either:
brew search Beaver
---- Output ----
==> Casks
dbeaver-enterprise dbeaver-enterprise swiftybeaver swiftybeaver
or:
brew search DB
---- Output ----
==> Formulae
ansible-cmdb dbmate lbdb mariadb@10.2 questdb
...
==> Casks
