I installed omlx via homebrew as per the readme, then I expected to be able to launch the menubar app by running /Applications/omlx.app - but it seems the homebrew installer is missing the menubar app! Does this mean that to get the menubar app you have to install omlx from each releases dmg? |

Right, brew and dmg are separate distribution channels. The brew formula installs the cli server only, no menubar app. The dmg version includes the full menubar app. The dmg version has built-in auto update support. When a new version is available, a notification shows up in the menubar. You just click it and it automatically downloads, updates, and restarts the app. So you only need to manually download the dmg once for the initial install. I think most people who prefer brew over dmg are looking to run omlx as a headless backend server from the cli anyway. What do you think about the current dmg update flow where you get notified in the menubar and update with one click? |

Thank you for clarifying this. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a bug, while I do think having the option to manage the running instance from the menu bar would be nice it's not a big deal.
For me personally it was just more that I install everything with brew as it makes it easy to backup my list of installed apps and keep them in sync between my machines, automate daily updates etc.. Having said that - for fast moving projects like LLM servers I do tend to build from source, especially if there's performance gains to be had or beta features to be tested. |
