OpenInTerminal

OpenInTerminal is a fantastic tool for anyone looking to simplify how they open folders in Terminal or other emulators. Let’s be honest, there are quite a few ways to do this, but most can feel like a hassle. When you need speed and efficiency, this app is your best buddy.

Easy Ways to Open Folders

This nifty software gives you four easy methods to open a folder or file with your terminal app or code editor. You can use a Finder extension, access it from the context menu, create a menu bar shortcut, or just hit some simple hotkeys. It’s super customizable too! If you prefer something simpler, lighter versions of the app are also available.

Get Started with Installation

Once you install OpenInTerminal, don’t forget to enable the Finder extension! After that’s set up, you can find it in the menu bar, Finder toolbar, and context menu whenever you need it.

Select Your Terminal App

The first time you launch it, you'll get to choose your favorite terminal app. Don’t worry if you change your mind later; you can configure it again anytime! This app supports many popular options so there's a good chance your go-to option is included.

Quick Actions at Your Fingertips

If you want to open a folder or file—or even copy its path—just select what you're after and use the toolbar, menu bar, or context menu shortcuts. If nothing's selected? No problem! The current folder will pop up automatically. Plus, you can set up hotkeys for these actions too!

Customize Your Experience

You can pick which terminal apps and text editors you'd like to use as long as they're installed on your device. There’s even an option for a quick toggle that performs actions with just one click on the toolbar or menu bar icons.

Easily Manage Menu Items

If you're not feeling the menu bar icon or context items anymore, no worries! You can disable them anytime. And if you'd like to declutter your Finder? Just remove the toolbar shortcut directly!

The Lite Versions: OpenInTerminal Lite & OpenInEditor Lite

OpenInTerminal Lite and OpenInEditor Lite let you open folders or files in just one click from the Finder toolbar. To add them to your Applications folder, hold ⌘, drag them over to the toolbar—then click away when you're ready!

A Few Trade-Offs with Lite Editions

Keep in mind that these smaller apps don’t have GUI preferences, keyboard shortcuts, or support for Dark mode. This makes sense since they’re designed for simplicity. But if you're using Dark mode on your device? The icons might look a bit out of place.

Your Perfect Terminal Companion!

OpenInTerminal is perfect for anyone who needs an easier way to interact with their terminal apps or code editors. With multiple usage methods and plenty of customization options available, it's sure to meet everyone’s needs—even though I wish those Lite editions had Dark mode support!
