Open your Cursor directly from Mac Finder toolbar

As a developer, I was constantly annoyed by how tedious it was to open my IDE in the right project folder:
Either cd into the directory in Terminal and run idename ./, or click through folders manually in the IDE.

So I built IDE Opener, a lightweight macOS tool that solves this pain point.

:light_bulb: IDE Opener is a tool I created that lets you open your current Finder folder in your favorite IDE (VS Code, Cursor, or Windsurf) — straight from the Finder toolbar.

:white_check_mark: One-click launch, no terminal needed
:white_check_mark: Supports VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf
:white_check_mark: Just drag it to the Finder toolbar and go

Click once, and your project is open. That’s it.

It’s helped me a lot — maybe it’ll help you too.
If you find it useful, drop a :star: on the repo — it means a lot!

Hey, thanks for sharing this. I’ve also moved it to the showcase category as it fits better there.
