What developers asked for most
Keep the convenience. Keep the terminal.
One saved command keeps its project folder, live shell, and detected ports together.
Saved command
Three steps, then one click
Save once. Run anytime.
MCP for coding agents
Give your agent a dependable way to run the project.
Shell Click gives Codex, Claude Code, and other MCP clients a shared command layer. An agent can save a command with its folder, run it, stop or restart it, and check its state—without guessing where it belongs.
The command and project folder travel together.
Agents can use the same saved shortcuts you use throughout Shell Click.
Shell Click keeps the live terminal, ports, Start, and Stop visible.
- 1 Save the command✓
pnpm dev~/Code/storefront - 2 Run in the right folder Launches through Shell Click’s terminal session.✓
- 3 Check what is running Query state, then stop or restart when needed.●

The command-line problems people are trying to solve
Each guide answers a concrete workflow developers have publicly asked for.
“macOS menu bar app based on Python or shell scripts”
Run scripts from the menu bar
Launch shell and Python scripts without wrapping each one in its own app. See the workflow →“terminal manager for multiple projects on macOS”
Manage commands across projects
Keep each project’s commands attached to the folder where they belong. See the workflow →“better way than four Terminal windows running commands”
Replace terminal-window sprawl
Run frontend, queues, listeners, and workers without arranging four terminals. See the workflow →“launch a saved command in a real interactive terminal”
Keep a real interactive terminal
Run saved commands with live output and a prompt you can still use. See the workflow →“run zsh commands from the macOS menu bar”
Run zsh and login-shell commands
Keep aliases, functions, PATH, and version managers available when you launch. See the workflow →“pin frequently used SSH commands in the macOS menu bar”
Pin SSH commands and tunnels
Keep recurring remote connections and local tunnels visible and reusable. See the workflow →“open VS Code workspaces from the macOS menu bar”
Launch VS Code projects
Open a workspace and start its local command from the folder that belongs to it. See the workflow →A real interactive login shell
Not a fire-and-forget button
Shell Click initializes the command through your account’s interactive login shell. PATH, aliases, functions, and version managers stay available. The terminal remains usable before, during, and after the saved command runs.
- Persistent private tmux session per command
- Direct keyboard input and Control-C
