Terminal Here is a lightweight and straightforward OS X application designed with a simple purpose in mind: to make it as simple and quick as possible to rapidly open a Terminal window with the current Finder folder as the working directory.

Despite a very simple utility, you won’t be able to use straightaway after installing it from the Mac App Store. First of all, you have to drag the Terminal Here.app from your /Applications folder to the Finder.app’s toolbar (right between Finder’s default set of toolbar icons and the search field on the top right corner.

Once you’ve added Terminal Here’s icon to your Finder’s toolbar, you can go ahead and click it in order to open a new Terminal window, with the folder opened in the Finder window as its active directory.

On the whole, Terminal Here is a one trick pony that has its own advantages. In spite of the fact that it won’t be of much use for anything else than launching a Terminal, you will most likely be able to save enough amount of time by integrating it within your workflow by eliminating the need to change directories manually from the command-line.

Thus, after it will spawn a new Terminal window on your Mac’s desktop, Terminal Here will instantly issue a cd command that will change the current command-line working path to the exact folder you had opened in the Finder.

Regardless of its usefulness, Terminal Here has quite a large direct competition both in Apple’s Mac App Store and outside of it, with most of the apps created for the exact same task being available for free.

It remains for you to decide if you want to pay Terminal Here’s price and support its developer in releasing further updates or go the easy (and free) way out and install one of its free competitors.

While testing it on our Macs, Terminal Here performed great without any errors or issues whatsoever. Thus, if you’re looking for a simple and easy to use Terminal Finder helper, Terminal Here might be the tool you need.
