About

Brave Nightly is the nightly build of Brave, a web browser described by its publisher as focusing on privacy. It is intended for trying features early: Brave says new features typically appear in Nightly first, move to Beta for final checks, and then reach the Release version. Nightly is therefore distinct from Brave’s Beta and standard Release builds.

  • Provides a browser application named Brave Browser Nightly.app.
  • Represents the early, in-progress stage of Brave’s release sequence, according to the official Nightly page.
  • The Homebrew cask requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later.

To install it with Homebrew, run brew install --cask brave-browser@nightly. Homebrew installs the app in /Applications as Brave Browser Nightly.app. This cask is for the Nightly variant, not Brave’s Beta or standard Release build.
