How can I remove a cask without uninstalling the application?
I recently installed an app with homebrew-cask, but I want to handle its updates by myself and not via brew cask upgrade.
Is there a command or option to remove a cask from the local list, without uninstalling it?
If I use brew cask remove or brew cask uninstall the app will be uninstalled.
I'm looking for something like brew cask forget or something similar.

It does not exist a way of unlink/forget a cask in the new version. It was possible to unlink a cask in previous versions but this changed, now the only thing like this is rename the artifact itself instead of a link.:
- https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/13201
I suggest you the next:
You could install the app manually without using brew cask this will prevent cask of knowing about the app so you'll be able to control when to upgrade the app.
In case you´ve already installed the app you can uninstall it and then install it manually or just change the name of the app, for example, adding the prefix _App.app then uninstall it using
brew cask uninstall Appand then rename it to the original name:App.app.Another option is removing
autoupdate truefrom the formulae, you can do this usingbrew cask edit appand then removing it, this will prevent the app to be upgraded when you usebrew cask upgrade. You'll need to know the app will be upgraded in case you runbrew cask upgrade --greedy, so instead upgrade the apps withoutautoupdate trueone by one:brew cask upgrade app. You'll know which apps can be updated but they're not automatically updated usingbrew cask outdated --greedy.Finally, using
brew tap homebrew/cask-versionsyou can control the versions you want to have installed if they're available in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask-versions/tree/master/Casks.

Thanks for the detailed answer, @pau ! While those recommendations all make sense, they don't provide the solution I'm looking for: just letting brew forget the cask as it was never installed.
