Adds the new owlocr cask for OwlOCR 7.16.0, a universal on-device OCR utility for screenshots, images, and PDFs on macOS 13.3 or later.

The cask downloads OwlOCR's immutable versioned universal DMG, installs OwlOCR.app, checks the Electron Builder update feed with livecheck, and includes a zap stanza generated with brew generate-zap containing only support files and bundle identifiers that OwlOCR 7.16 or later can create.

OwlOCR has been distributed since 2020. Its Product Hunt launch ranked #2 product of the day and has 261 upvotes.


Additionally, if adding a new cask:

  • Named the cask according to the token reference.
  • Checked the cask was not already refused (add your cask's name to the end of the search field).
  • brew audit --cask --new <cask> worked successfully.
  • HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --cask <cask> worked successfully.
  • brew uninstall --cask <cask> worked successfully.

  • I did not use AI/LLM to create this PR, or I disclosed the tool/model below and reviewed its output, including zap stanza paths; I did not attribute commits to AI and will answer maintainer questions and review comments myself without AI/LLM.

AI/LLM disclosure: OpenAI Codex (GPT-5) was used to research the current cask requirements and draft the cask and PR text. I reviewed its output. I personally ran brew generate-zap. OpenAI Codex compared its output against OwlOCR 7.16 and removed the historical identifiers, leaving only paths that a current 7.16+ installation can create. The single commit is authored and committed by me with no AI attribution.

Validation completed locally:

  • brew style owlocr
  • brew audit --cask --new --online owlocr
  • brew lgtm --online
  • no-API install and uninstall
  • Developer ID signature and notarization verification

Please only include the config and folders that are present in a current installation.
We only need to zap files that would exist from version 7.16.0 and above.
