 ### macOS (Apple Silicon)
 
-Download `OpenCADStudio-*-macos-arm64.dmg` from the [latest release](https://github.com/HakanSeven12/OpenCADStudio/releases/latest) — Apple Silicon (M-series) only; Intel macOS isn't built.
+Apple Silicon (M-series) only; Intel macOS isn't built. The app is ad-hoc signed but **not Apple-notarised** (notarisation requires a paid Apple Developer ID), so macOS Gatekeeper guards the first launch. Pick whichever path is easiest:
 
-Open the .dmg and drag `OpenCADStudio.app` to `/Applications`. The first launch may be blocked by Gatekeeper because the app is not notarised — right-click `OpenCADStudio.app → Open` and confirm, or run once via `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenCADStudio.app`.
+**Option A — Homebrew (recommended):**
+
+```bash
+brew install --cask --no-quarantine \
+  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HakanSeven12/OpenCADStudio/main/packaging/homebrew/open-cad-studio.rb
+```
+
+`--no-quarantine` lets Gatekeeper skip the unsigned-app prompt. See [`packaging/homebrew/`](packaging/homebrew/) for publishing this as a `brew tap`.
+
+**Option B — manual .dmg:**
+
+Download `OpenCADStudio-*-macos-arm64.dmg` from the [latest release](https://github.com/HakanSeven12/OpenCADStudio/releases/latest), open it, and drag `OpenCADStudio.app` to `/Applications`. If the first launch is blocked, clear the quarantine flag once:
+
+```bash
+xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenCADStudio.app
+```
+
+On older macOS you can instead right-click `OpenCADStudio.app → Open` and confirm; on macOS Ventura and later, approve it via **System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway**.

+# Homebrew cask
+
+[`open-cad-studio.rb`](open-cad-studio.rb) is a [Homebrew Cask](https://docs.brew.sh/Cask-Cookbook)
+for installing the macOS (Apple Silicon) build.
+
+## Install without a tap (directly from this file)
+
+```bash
+brew install --cask --no-quarantine \
+  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HakanSeven12/OpenCADStudio/main/packaging/homebrew/open-cad-studio.rb
+```
+
+`--no-quarantine` is required: the app is ad-hoc signed but **not** Apple-notarised
+(notarisation needs a paid Apple Developer ID), so without it Gatekeeper still
+blocks the first launch.
+
+## Publishing as a proper tap (recommended)
+
+Create a separate GitHub repo named `homebrew-tap` under the same account, put a
+copy of `open-cad-studio.rb` in its `Casks/` directory, then users can run:
+
+```bash
+brew install --cask --no-quarantine hakanseven12/tap/open-cad-studio
+```
+
+`brew upgrade` then keeps the app current automatically.
+
+## Updating for a new release
+
+Each release run prints the new `version` + `sha256` in the GitHub Actions job
+summary (the **Emit Homebrew cask sha256** step). Paste those two lines into the
+cask. To compute the digest manually:
+
+```bash
+shasum -a 256 OpenCADStudio-vX.Y.Z-macos-arm64.dmg
+```
