appify v3.0.1 for Mac OS X - http://mths.be/appify | |
Creates the simplest possible Mac app from a shell script. | |
Appify takes a shell script as its first argument: | |
`basename "$0"` my-script.sh | |
Note that you cannot rename appified apps. If you want to give your app | |
a custom name, use the second argument: | |
`basename "$0"` my-script.sh "My App" | |

here's a hack to make it open in Mac Terminal:
https://github.com/labor4/ya-appify
I forked this and added option-parsing, overridable icons file, and some other bits: https://gist.github.com/oubiwann/453744744da1141ccc542ff75b47e0cf
Trying to run Electron without using electron-packager.
I can get open MyApp.app
in the Terminal to work.
But not when I double-click from the Finder, or right-click and select "Open".
Here are the repro steps:
- Create
MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp
- Modify the shell script:
#!/bin/bash
cd $(dirname "$0")/../../..
./node_modules/.bin/electron .
- Call
chmod +x MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp
- Confirm
open MyApp.app
works as intended - Confirm double-clicking in the Finder does nothing
Any help would be awesome.
Edit
Looks like it wasn't working because node_modules/.bin/electron
spawns a child process.
This works as intended:
../node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron .
can any one help???
im only new to mac and command line entry im trying to see if any on can turn 2 commands into a ON / OFF switch/toggle? that i can just click to open from desktop or something with a status icon so you know it on or off
ON:
"sudo pmset -b sleep 0; sudo pmset -b disablesleep 1"
OFF:
sudo pmset -b sleep 5; sudo pmset -b disablesleep 0
Thanks so much for this!
I tried the Automater way of doing it, but it wasn't ideal. After removing the parameter variable from my command ("$@"
), it worked fine...the applified app wouldn't launch with it there.
Adding plist
and make sure that schell scripts and plist
values have the same name as the app made it work fine.
You can grab out of my frameworks and just edit the script continained.

Thank you for this. Much appreciated.
don't do /Users/--------/Desktop/appify.sh: Permission denied
instead do sh /Users/--------/Desktop/appify.sh
Hi, is there an option to run the app as hidden?
This is the only "appify" script that is working on Catalina. Thanks, friend. Do you want to fork Conky-Mac with me. I have great configs but really haven't done serious code since the 90's in LA.
On an ARM64 Mac, it kept prompting me to install Rosetta; adding the LSArchitecturePriority
to the /Contents/Info.plist
seems to work (although this is cached somehow, so I had to change the CFBundleIdentifier
to get Rosetta to check again):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>run</string>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.testing</string>
<key>LSArchitecturePriority</key>
<array>
<string>arm64</string>
</array>
<key>LSRequiresNativeExecution</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
Hi,
my script looks like this
and i added the execution permission for my .sh file.
The applified application dies immediately and I see the following entry in the console log:
os is 10.11.5
