# 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
# pictures
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
