Cmd-K for the Terminal

Access any file on your computer with ⌘-K in your terminal - mieubrisse/cmdk

Cmd-K for the Terminal launched on June 3, 2025 with 6 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

The ⌘-k "access anything" shortcut is awesome on Notion, Slack, etc. The terminal, by comparison, is a dinosaur: tons of repeated cd and ls and TAB just to get anywhere. Note: cmdk is currently macOS-focused. File opening (Preview, Keynote, open command) assumes macOS. The core navigation works on Linux, but file-open behavior may vary. I'm extremely grateful to fzf ; this project wouldn't be possible without it. I'd been fed up with terminal navigation for a decade, and fzf was the missing piece needed to make cmdk possible. brew install mieubrisse/cmdk/cmdk This installs the cmdk binary along with its required dependencies ( fzf and fd ). # For previewing text, image, and PDF files…from github.com

    I was constantly googling CLI commands so I built this small CLI tool with GPT3. You can ask for shell commands right from the CLI. You'd need to use your own API KEY for this but it's pretty simple, instructions are in the README Not perfect but not bad either.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

  • I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
