Review

Mar 11, 2026

cd to is a Finder toolbar app that allows users to open the current directory in Terminal with a single click. It streamlines workflow for developers and command-line users by eliminating the need to manually navigate to directories in Terminal.

Enables quick access to the current Finder directory in Terminal.

Maturity: The project is moderately mature with active community interest but has some open issues and hasn't been updated recently.

Community: Community sentiment is positive, with discussions on related tools and workflow improvements, though not directly focused on cd to.

Pros

  • + Quick access to directories in Terminal
  • + Streamlines workflow for developers
  • + Active community and open-source nature

Cons

  • - Requires manual updates
  • - Open issues that need addressing

Jan 2026 Built a Claude Code plugin that automatically shows your CI/CD status and PR updates right in the terminal after you push. No more tab-switching to GitHub and mashing refresh.
