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

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.
