Do you check the Settings -> General -> Login Items & Extensions ?

If there is no OpenInTerminal here, you can try

$ pluginkit -mAD -p com.apple.FinderSync -vvv

And there should be something like

     wang.jianing.app.OpenInTerminal.OpenInTerminalFinderExtension(2.3.5)
	            Path = /Applications/OpenInTerminal.app/Contents/PlugIns/OpenInTerminalFinderExtension.appex
	            UUID = F2547F13-4E43-4E88-9D8F-56DF05C020D8
	       Timestamp = 2024-09-17 09:34:07 +0000
	             SDK = com.apple.FinderSync
	   Parent Bundle = /Applications/OpenInTerminal.app
	    Display Name = OpenInTerminalFinderExtension
	      Short Name = OpenInTerminalFinderExtension
	     Parent Name = OpenInTerminal
	        Platform = macOS

And we can run the following cmd to manually add it to the finder extension. $ pluginkit -e "use" -u "F2547F13-4E43-4E88-9D8F-56DF05C020D8"

This method works for me, thank you so much. Success on macOS 15 Sequoia Developer Beta 5

For others if the above still isn't working, I had to "Reset preferences" before it showed in my finder context, simply restarting the openinterminal / os didn't work for me :>

It also works for me, macOS 15.0.1

你檢查了嗎Settings -> General -> Login Items & Extensions？ 如果这里没有OpenInTerminal，你可以尝试 $ pluginkit -mAD -p com.apple.FinderSync -vvv 应该有类似的东西

     wang.jianing.app.OpenInTerminal.OpenInTerminalFinderExtension(2.3.5)
	            Path = /Applications/OpenInTerminal.app/Contents/PlugIns/OpenInTerminalFinderExtension.appex
	            UUID = F2547F13-4E43-4E88-9D8F-56DF05C020D8
	       Timestamp = 2024-09-17 09:34:07 +0000
	             SDK = com.apple.FinderSync
	   Parent Bundle = /Applications/OpenInTerminal.app
	    Display Name = OpenInTerminalFinderExtension
	      Short Name = OpenInTerminalFinderExtension
	     Parent Name = OpenInTerminal
	        Platform = macOS

我们可以运行以下cmd将其手动添加到finder扩展。$ pluginkit -e "use" -u "F2547F13-4E43-4E88-9D8F-56DF05C020D8"

它也适用于我，macOS 15.0.1

It's also 15.0.1, but my attempt failed and I couldn't succeed even after turning off SIP

I use OpenInTerminal, not OpenInTerminal-Lite. My device is a Mac M3 Pro, but it still doesn’t work for me.

[Marsman1996]

Weird, actually we should not turn off SIP which makes our system unsecure. Do you click Apply to Finder Toolbar Menu or Apply to Finder Context Menu in the OpenInTerminal Preferences -> Custom? And what's the output of the $ pluginkit -mAD -p com.apple.FinderSync -vvv?

[justdan0227]

Any updatge pluginkit -mAD -p com.apple.FinderSync -vvv "F4C9F8E8-D3B6-42BB-A8C2-F1B1C28E8799" (no matches)

[Cregin]

I also encountered this problem

[carys-cc]

pluginkit -e "use" -u "xxxx"

Also didn't work for me. Is a Finder or system restart required?

[beyond2060]

I also have this issue. OpenTerminal is selected in Settings -> General -> Login Items & Extensions, but the finder menubar icon doesn't show.

[Cregin]

Use FinderSyncer.https://zigz.ag/FinderSyncer/

[jorgegarciadev]

I have the same issue on Macos 15.2, Openinterminal works using the status bar icon but the Finder toolbar icon doesn't work. Some permission is missing because the first time press the icon is clicked after boot it ask to access data from other apps.

It already has accessibility and app management permissions. I tried adding adding full disk permission and nothing changed.

[parksj10]

Same problem as @jorgegarciadev , I also tried giving full disk permission and even when I hit allow, the menu item appears greyed out:

on M4 macOS15.1

I seem to have found a work around:

1. Add a custom menu item

2. Activate iterm

3. Accept permissions

Then you can use the custom menu item... I'd note that it reprompts you every restart and the main icon is still greyed out! so we certainly have a bug here... just a temp solution

Thank you. It works for me.

[jorgegarciadev]

I can confirm that resetting OpeninTerminal preferences and restarting it makes it work in Finder.

Update: Still ask for permissions on start up and on first use.

[BrushXue]

Everytime after the system restarts, it asks for the permission.

[ctrlcmdshft]

Always on boot/restart
