About

1Password Nightly is the nightly-channel edition of the 1Password password manager. This Homebrew cask installs the 1Password.app graphical application; it is not a command-line-only package. The supplied package information identifies it as a password manager but does not detail specific features, so this entry does not infer additional capabilities from the 1Password homepage.

  • Installs the macOS app at /Applications/1Password.app.
  • Provides the Nightly variant, rather than the standard or beta cask.
  • Requires macOS 12 or later.
  • Conflicts with the 1password and 1password@beta casks, so those variants cannot be installed alongside this one through Homebrew.

To install, run brew install --cask 1password@nightly. Launch 1Password Nightly from the Applications folder after installation. The cask uses a latest-version download rather than a pinned release. Nightly identifies the selected release channel; the supplied evidence does not specify its release cadence or enumerate differences from the standard or beta editions.

Uninstall command
$ brew uninstall --cask \1password@nightly

A regular uninstall removes the app and keeps its settings and caches.

Deep clean (optional)
$ brew uninstall --zap --cask \1password@nightly

--zap also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left.See which files are removed
