## What it is
A macOS Finder toolbar app that opens the current directory in terminal emulators like Terminal, iTerm, Hyper, Alacritty, and many others, or in editors like VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. It also supports opening selected items in custom apps, with keyboard shortcuts and a GUI preferences panel.

## Use cases

- launch iterm from finder on mac

- open selected file in preferred editor from finder

## When to choose
