OpenInTerminal vs OpenInTerminal-Lite 👀
Wondering which one to choose? If you're all about fancy features and GUI settings, go for OpenInTerminal. But if you just want to open your terminal quickly and without fuss, OpenInTerminal-Lite is your buddy.
I personally prefer OpenInTerminal-Lite. Why? It's a one-click wonder (while the other makes you click twice 😂) and it's more lightweight.
Check OpenInTerminal-Lite Docs: English | 中文 | Deutsch
Installation 🖥
⚠️ Important: Signed builds are no longer provided for OpenInTerminal, OpenInTerminal-Lite, or OpenInEditor-Lite. Before using these apps, please either trust the unsigned binaries or sign them yourself. See the Configuration document for how to install and trust unsigned apps.
brew install --cask openinterminal
Or manually download it from release.
Configuration and FAQ ⚙️
Please check the Configuration document.
Note: If you're on macOS 15 and above then you must follow the instructions in this document to make the context menu items appear.
