brew-cask-upgrade is a Ruby-based external Homebrew command that upgrades every outdated app installed via Homebrew Cask. It replaces the native `brew upgrade` for casks with an interactive interface, glob pattern support, pinning, and finer-grained control over what gets upgraded.

Use cases

• upgrade all outdated homebrew cask apps at once
• interactively pick which cask apps to update
• pin a cask app to its current version
• upgrade casks matching a glob pattern like firefox*
• include auto-updating apps in cask upgrades

When to choose

• you manage macOS GUI apps through Homebrew Cask and want bulk upgrades
• you need more control than the native brew upgrade offers, like pinning or filtering
• you want an interactive upgrade workflow with per-app choices

When to avoid

• you are not on macOS or do not use Homebrew
• you only manage CLI packages via Homebrew core rather than casks
• you prefer fully automated unattended updates without interactivity
