This is Scriptarious, a little macOS app to create, edit and launch shell scripts from the menubar.

Nothing fancy here just a basic application with - Syntax highlighting (using highlight.js) - Shortcuts/Hotkeys to launch shell scripts - Some built-in scripts I use

To come: - syncing (without iCloudKit) - sharing -

Feedbacks are welcome :-)

This looks nice! It would be even better if you could access these scripts from Spotlight! As for now I have been writing .command scripts so that they show on Spotlight and can be executed from there.

Hi, thx for your feedback. Will certainly be implemented in a next update.

Anyone else find it weird the first example sets language to “shell session” (which is likely to be zsh) then invokes bash… just to invoke osascript.

It’s like a turducken of scripts.

Thx for the feedback. I’ve certainly switch my brain off when writing this.

Ok now I've downloaded it, it makes more sense, I think?

The drop down for language is just for syntax highlighting right?

It's slightly weird that a tool for "running scripts" offers to highlight something as HTML or CSS though. Might need to be a bit more specific about the options shown there.

Also, in dark mode, the editor is unusable by default - it's black text on a very dark grey background.

You are right, the dropdown is for syntax highlighting.

It's just a version 0.2 so there is some weird things like that (list of languages). I will restrict this list, that a good point.

From the settings you have access to other themes colours. Some of them are more confortable for dark mode.
