TermHere for Mac

Instant Terminal Access from Finder

TermHere is a lightweight macOS extension that lets you open a terminal session directly in the folder you're viewing in Finder. Instead of navigating through directories by hand, you can start a command-line window for the current location with a quick contextual menu action, saving time for developers and frequent terminal users.

Key advantages

• Saves time by launching a shell right where your files are located, removing extra navigation steps.
• Integrates neatly with Finder so your regular file browsing workflow remains unchanged.
• Easy to set up and use, making it a practical addition to any Mac utility collection.

How to use it

1. Install the extension and enable it in Finder’s extensions or Services settings.
2. Right-click (or Control-click) on any folder or background space in a Finder window.
3. Choose the TermHere command from the contextual menu to open a terminal at that path.
