What to expect

KickUp aims to be the best terminal GUI available.
It features a powerful, built-in terminal with a visual interface on top, designed for quickly navigating folders and running commands.
By storing these in the app, KickUp lets you instantly reuse them in the terminal whenever and wherever they are needed.
This saves you valuable time.

Learn the basics

📂 Scan project folders 🚀 Run commands from there
KickUp has a smart folder-scanning feature to collect project folders.

For example:
Find important folders with a package.json file to identify frontend root,
while searching for .sln files to locate backend projects.

It’s incredibly easy, fully modular. You set the rules!

🎨 Create Buttons 🫳 Movable & Customizable
Save your complex CLI commands as buttons (KickUps) and move them between your folders using drag-and-drop.
You can also drop them into an empty slot in the QuickStart menu at the top to pin favorites.

❌ Skip cd and set-location
The command button can be locked and executed directly in the folder where it’s located.
Tabs in KickUp automatically opens and rename themselves based on their location, no matter which shell you’re using!
And if you need a fresh terminal – Just double-click a saved folder or click the plus icon.

…Want to know more? 😉
🔹Terminal tabs also blink on background activity to indicate new output when not in focus.
🔹You can search across multiple tabs using CTRL+F or use the magnifier icon.
🔹The terminal is smart and automatically decides whether to reuse the current tab or open a new one for your KickUp command.

Create

• Pick an icon
• Set a button title
• Write your syntax highlighted command
• Set needed terminal shell from list
• Lock the command and execute it in the folder where it’s located
