OpenInTerminal is a Finder Toolbar app that allows users to open the current directory in Terminal, iTerm, Hyper, or Alacritty. It's a handy tool for developers and power users who frequently switch between Finder and their terminal. The app is open-source and supports multiple terminal applications.

Enables users to open the current Finder directory in Terminal or other terminal emulators directly from the Finder toolbar.

Maturity: The project is popular with over 6,000 GitHub stars but has 40 open issues and hasn't been updated since January 2025, indicating some maturity concerns.

Community: The app has been mentioned a few times on Hacker News but generated little discussion. No mentions found on Reddit.

Pros

+ Integrates seamlessly with Finder for quick access to terminal applications.
+ Supports multiple terminal applications, including Terminal, iTerm, Hyper, and Alacritty.
+ Open-source with a MIT license, promoting transparency and community contributions.
