OpenHere

OpenHere is a dead simple tool to open your favorite apps from Finder, alot like OpenInTerminal-Lite. You can create multiple different openers with the build script. see the pictures
these helpers will clone the icon of the app they will open

build output for my personal opener helpers


how they look in your toolbar

install

after building your apps with the build command place them somewhere comfy. then drag them into your toolbar while holding down (Cmd)

⚠️ on first start macOS will ask for your permissions to access Finder. these openers need this permission to determine your current working directory

i am going to just steal this gif from OpenInTerminal-Lite

what you need

  • the swiftc compiler
  • some sort of terminal

thats it.

getting a bundleid from an app

osascript -e 'id of app "NotepadNext"'

examples

usage: ./build <bundleid> <appname>

./build com.googlecode.iterm2 "Open in Terminal" # create opener app for iterm2
./build com.microsoft.VSCode "Open in VSCode"
