Shellporter
Open a terminal in your IDE's project directory with one hotkey
Visit shellporter.com ↗What is Shellporter?
Shellporter is a macOS menu bar utility that launches a terminal window directly in your active IDE's project root with a single keystroke. It supports JetBrains IDEs, VS Code, Cursor, Xcode, and Antigravity, working with Terminal.app, iTerm2, Ghostty, Kitty, and custom commands. The tool uses accessibility APIs to detect the active project and remembers recent directories for instant repeat launches.
Designed for developers who prefer standalone terminal applications over IDE-integrated terminals, Shellporter eliminates friction when switching between projects. It runs entirely locally with no network calls or telemetry, and lives cleanly in the menu bar without cluttering the dock. The maker built it with Claude Code to streamline their own multi-project workflow.
