Hi Product Hunt! I m the solo developer behind OpenFolder.
I built it because I kept reopening the same folders in different tools like Cursor, VS Code, and Xcode. Finder worked, but it always felt like too many steps for something I do dozens of times a day.
OpenFolder started as a simple menu bar launcher for folders and files, and it has grown into a lightweight workspace router for macOS.
Hi everyone! I just shipped a new version of OpenFolder, my lightweight launcher for folders, files, and apps on macOS. Here s a quick summary of what s new and what the app does now:
What OpenFolder Does
Lets you pin folders, files, volumes, and apps into a clean menu bar launcher.
Opens anything in one click without digging through Finder.
Supports drag-and-drop to add, reorder, or repair items.
Includes Recent Items, so you can quickly reopen things you used recently.
Optional launch at login for people who rely on it daily.
It s designed for creators, developers, and anyone working across multiple projects.
I built OpenFolder to make one simple thing fast — opening folders I use every day.
It lives quietly in your macOS menu bar and gives you quick access to the places you actually work in — without digging through Finder or cluttering your Dock.
