# Unity Menu
A macOS menubar app to quickly open running Unity projects.
For quick access, assign a global keyboard shortcut in the Settings window.
## Installation
Download the latest build from the
[Releases](https://github.com/mminer/unity-menu/releases) page.
Because the app isn't notarized, macOS will display a warning when you first
open it:
> Apple could not verify “Unity Menu.app” is free of malware that may harm your
> Mac or compromise your privacy.
To open it anyway, see
[Apple's instructions](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102445) for opening apps
from an unidentified developer.
## Why?
If you have multiple Unity projects open at once, it can be a chore to find the
one you want. Neither the Dock nor the app switcher help much.
If you *don't* often juggle multiple Unity projects at once, Unity Menu will be
useless to you. And for that I'm sorry.
## Why Not Use Unity Hub?
Unity Hub works great for launching project, but try to launch one that's
already open and you get a "Project is already open" message.
This is... well, it could be more helpful.
Unity Menu works the opposite way: it only shows projects that are open, and
clicking one of them brings that instance of Unity to the front.
## Command Line Tool
The *Unity Menu.app* package contains a command line tool you can use to open
Unity projects from the terminal.
```
$ alias unity-menu="/Applications/Unity\ Menu.app/Contents/MacOS/unity-menu"
```
```
$ unity-menu --help
OVERVIEW: Open running Unity projects.
USAGE: unity-menu []
ARGUMENTS:
Unity project selection.
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Show help information.
```
```
$ unity-menu
[1] Grand Theft Auto 6
[2] Huedini
[3] Orbert
[4] Time Squatch
Selection: 3
```
## Implementation
Unity Menu finds open Unity projects by reading the output of `ps`. If you think
this sounds fragile, you're right.
