Fast Access to Finder Locations
OpenInCode is a lightweight macOS utility that opens the folder you’re viewing in Finder directly in Visual Studio Code. It removes the repeated steps of locating a project inside the editor and jumps straight from Finder to your workspace, saving time during development.
Add It to Your Finder Toolbar
The tool can be placed in Finder’s toolbar for instant access. Once installed, a single click on the toolbar icon will launch VS Code with the active Finder folder as the workspace, making project switching simple and immediate.
Who Should Use This
This utility is especially useful for developers, designers, and anyone who regularly works with files in Visual Studio Code. If you prefer managing projects from Finder instead of navigating within the editor, OpenInCode speeds up your workflow.
Price and Category
OpenInCode is free and listed under utilities or developer tools. Its minimal setup and straightforward behavior make it an easy addition to most macOS development environments.
