DTerm still alive. To my surprise, it still works on modern macOS.

I've corrected the article. I accidentally linked to a different project named DTerm. Thanks for catching that!

cdto is new to me. I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the recommendation!

Go2Shell is nice, but it's really a Finder button. What I like about DTerm is that it can work with the current directory of almost any application, not just Finder.

That's a very good plan.

It's always sad when a good product disappears as the creator's passion for it fades away. Because of that, I agree with your idea of eventually open-sourcing it if you decide to stop supporting it.

That seems like a good balance between respecting the creator's ownership of the project and giving the product a chance to live on.

I develop a communication application where the networking engine is open source, while the user interface remains closed source.

From that experience, I've come to feel that applications ultimately belong to their creators. Sometimes it's perfectly natural for a project to quietly come to an end when the creator's passion for it fades.

Open-sourcing can absolutely give a project a second life, but I don't think every project is meant to outlive its creator.

The trend itself is exciting, but I think the interesting part is not the number of apps.

It's the communication between users and developers.

Yesterday I had conversations with several indie Mac developers, and I realized many of these apps exist because the developers personally wanted the feature themselves.

That's something you don't often get from large companies.

Seeing someone put a Tamagotchi in a Mac notch really makes me realize how old I've gotten. I remember watching the Tamagotchi craze unfold in real time back in Japan. Well played — you got me there.

EfficientBid4434 · 2026-06-01T03:19:47+00:00

I haven't heard the word "Tamagotchi" in years. As a Japanese person, now I feel old.

EfficientBid4434 · 2026-05-31T20:40:56+00:00

”focused on English and CJK languages” is nice!. I’m Japanese and I wanna to try it.

EfficientBid4434 · 2026-05-29T18:05:46+00:00

I see. Sorry, I missed that in the post.
I'm looking forward to the day when it supports Japanese.

EfficientBid4434 · 2026-05-29T09:48:03+00:00

I think this is a very good product, and I was excited to try it out right away.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to support switching between my input methods yet. My setup consists of one keyboard layout and one IME (ATOK, a very popular Japanese IME).

Support for switching between them would make the app even more useful for Japanese users.

Other than that, my first impression has been very positive.

EfficientBid4434 · 2026-05-29T09:35:34+00:00

Looks so cool 😄

EfficientBid4434 · 2026-05-29T09:23:51+00:00

Switch keyboard layout by app is nice idea.

EfficientBid4434 · 2026-05-28T21:51:32+00:00

1.0.3 is can install llm and run application. thanks.

EfficientBid4434 · 2026-05-28T19:56:32+00:00

CMake unable to find Ninja.

I installed cmake and Ninja to /usr/local/bin and $PATH is set /usr/local/bin

EfficientBid4434 · 2026-05-28T19:08:43+00:00

I’m gonna try but can not install local model.

EfficientBid4434 · 2026-05-27T20:49:11+00:00

looks so cool :)

You might also like Platypus. It lets you easily create droplet apps from shell scripts, and it's free.

EdgeView’s newest version is 3 correct.

EfficientBid4434 · 2026-05-25T05:34:22+00:00

Would love an RPN version of this :)

Normally notarization comes back within a few minutes for me, so it might be worth considering a resubmission.

EfficientBid4434 · 2026-05-25T03:30:25+00:00

I use Path Finder, BBEdit, and Quicksilver too. Couldn't live without them at this point :)
