96d68c6 as known issue

For app installed by jetbrain-toolbox-app, there could be mis-detection:

==> brew uninstall -f --zap intellij-idea
==> brew uninstall -f --zap jetbrains-gateway
==> brew uninstall -f --zap pycharm-ce-with-anaconda-plugin
==> brew uninstall -f --zap pycharm-ce
==> brew uninstall -f --zap pycharm-with-anaconda-plugin
==> brew uninstall -f --zap pycharm
==> brew uninstall -f --zap webstorm

i think the tool box made some magic, I'm have these soft (idea...) installed but it was not in /Application

ls /Application

seems you are using package from upstream to get all installed apps.

cask/caskroom

maybe it was the issue that brew or cast cant get apps not installed by brew or under /Application

Yes, JetBrains Toolbox will installs .app to /Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox and can't be detected by this script. Currently, I have added it as a known issue in the README.
