Getting started with JoyClick
Install JoyClick, grant access to your folders, and start using the right-click menu.
Short answer: To get started with JoyClick, install it from the Mac App Store, open it once and grant access to the folders you want to use it in, then right-click in Finder to use the JoyClick actions.
1. Install JoyClick
Download JoyClick from the Mac App Store. JoyClick requires macOS 14.0+.

- Quick open — open Terminal, iTerm2, VSCode or Sublime Text in the current folder.
