I'd like to take a moment to re-introduce my GUI for MacPorts, PortAuthority, now updated for Catalina.

PortAuthority makes it easy to install thousands of Unix software packages for macOS.  PortAuthority's familiar three-pane interface lets you get started doing what you want to do--finding, installing, and removing software for MacPorts.

PortAuthority is the longest-running GUI for MacPorts, in active development since the early days of the project (2004, when it was still DarwinPorts!), and the only current, stable GUI available on the market. Other attempts to develop a native UI for MacPorts have stalled out, but PortAuthority is still here, keeping up with changes in both macOS and in MacPorts.

My app had previously been proprietary shareware, then was open-sourced under the MIT license and costing a nominal sum to register. I have now made the app fully free to download and use, but I do request that you donate to support the app's development at Liberapay, which is a sort of Patreon for OSS developers.

More information about the app, a download link, and a donation link are found at https://www.codebykevin.com/portauthority.html.

Thank you!
