mas is a command-line interface for the Mac App Store designed for scripting and automation.
The tool solves the problem of managing Mac App Store applications without using the graphical App Store interface. It enables developers and system administrators to script app installations, updates, and management tasks through command-line commands, making it suitable for automated deployment workflows, configuration management, and bulk operations on macOS systems.
The tool is appropriate for developers and system administrators who need to automate Mac App Store operations as part of larger deployment or management scripts. It works well in environments where command-line automation is preferred over graphical interaction, such as in CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code setups, or headless server configurations. The project supports macOS 13 and later, with recommended support for macOS 14 and above depending on the installation method chosen.
The project maintains active development with passing build, test, and linting checks. Dependencies are actively monitored for status. The tool is written in Swift and targets recent language standards.
