Install Workbench (Pre-Catalina)

If on Catalina then skip to next section. 👇

brew install --cask mysqlworkbench

You should see MySQLWorkbench under Applications

Guidelines for Catalina

The current version of mysqlworkbench (8.0.23) for Catalina at time of writing (June 2021) is 8.0.23 which appears to be buggy for certain updates of Catalina. Dropping down one version to 8.0.22 worked for me as follows.

If already installed then remove first.

brew uninstall --cask mysqlworkbench

Download formula for 8.0.22.

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jonjack/de51fb456c7682cbfd55314669d6513c/raw/4b70352469035a2e35818f2c1fff0e1cb1bbec89/mysqlworkbench-8.0.22.rb

Now install.

brew install --cask mysqlworkbench-8.0.22.rb

Big Sur

There is also a formula here which will install v8.0.25 compatible with Big Sur.

For me, it's not working.
MySQLWorkbench comes under Applications, after opening it, it says "MySQLWorkbench quit unexpectedly.

Just a small update for Big Sur users.

After executing:
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jonjack/84e24ed5f44e452e629cfe01cf472267/raw/987362b8bd554b49ecc136213321d5f27c89efb0/mysqlworkbench-8.0.25.rb

Open the file and change the url to https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/get/p/8/file/mysql-workbench-community-8.0.25-macos-x86_64.dmg and save it.
Then use brew install mysqlworkbench-8.0.25.rb
