macFUSE

brew install --cask macfuse v5.2.0

Kernel extension enabling user-space file system implementations on macOS.

Why you might care

Developers and power users need this to run file systems like SSHFS, Rclone, or other FUSE-based tools that wouldn't work without it. It's the macOS equivalent of Linux's FUSE and required for many system integration projects.
