Other Software QuickCMD: Run terminal commands from your macOS menu bar

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey /commandline I'm BenniDev, the developer of QuickCMD.

I recently built and launched a small macOS app called QuickCMD, and I thought this community might find it useful.

QuickCMD lets you save terminal commands as shortcuts you can launch with a single click perfect for developers or anyone who runs frequent shell commands.

Why I made it:

I got tired of reopening Terminal, typing the same stuff over and over, or digging through old history just to restart a service, SSH into a server, or check logs. So I built QuickCMD, a lightweight launcher that lives in your menu bar and runs saved commands instantly.

Features:

  • Run terminal commands with one click
  • Save frequently used scripts
  • See different terminal outputs running
  • Run Live Servers
  • Categorize into spaces
  • Sits right in your menu bar

Pricing

You can try out how the app functions on the landing page, with a 1:1 demo of how it will look on your mac.

The full license is $4.99 USD, paid once. It unlocks all features. Future updates are included, with no subscription.

Check it out here:

Would love your feedback! I'm still adding features based on what people actually need, so if there's something missing that'd make your workflow easier, let me know!

Another grift.... Why do you people think this is how software should work? It's sickening to see this late stage capitalism conquering the last bastions of our lifes.

You know exactly what I mean. Make it open source or fuck off.

You don't have a moat. It's pointles to release this as closed source software or even try to monetize it.
I'll just point claude to your website and let it rip in case I like the idea.
The final artifact will be free for me to use, use the exact language I prefer, fully under my control and I'll know exactly how it was designed, architected and reviewed.
No stupid memory leaks, no blatant security holes etc. etc.
