Describe the solution you'd like

In addition to having Homebrew formula for cli, have a Homebrew cask to distribute .dmg files that install an app bundle in Applications

Is your feature request related to a problem?

With a formula Homebrew install you need a terminal to launch the app as there is no Sniffnet.app installed

Research direction
Review the existing Homebrew formula for the CLI version in the repository. Create a new cask file following the Homebrew cask specification, referencing the .dmg artifact from the project's releases. Ensure the cask installs the app bundle to the Applications directory. Consult Homebrew's documentation on cask creation and test with `brew install cask` locally.
