프로젝트를 클릭 가능한 독(Dock) 앱으로 바꿔주는 플러그인을 만들었습니다
핵심 요약
개발 중인 프로젝트를 클릭 한 번으로 실행할 수 있는 독 앱으로 변환해 주는 도구 '/app-it'을 소개합니다.
- 간편한 실행 — 복잡한 터미널 명령어 없이 아이콘 클릭만으로 프로젝트 실행 가능
- 개인용 도구 — 소규모 앱이나 AI 실험 프로젝트를 관리하는 개발자의 번거로움 해소
- 디자인 커스텀 — Codex를 활용해 프로젝트 README 기반의 앱 로고 자동 생성 가능
- 오픈 소스 — 현재 Mac 환경에서 잘 작동하며 Windows 버전 테스트 참여 환영

I made a skill that turns any of your projects into a clickable dock app.
Instead of running npm install, npm run build, npm run dev, opening localhost, remembering which repo needs which command, etc., you just click an icon and the app opens.
It's called /app-it.
I built it because I make a lot of small apps, tools, and weird AI-assisted experiments, and after a while, the friction of "how do I run this one again?" gets super annoying.
/app-it makes each project feel like a real app on your machine.
A bit of context: I've been building with agentic AI for a while now, mostly through Claude Code and Codex. I use a frankly unreasonable amount of tokens every day, and along the way I've stumbled upon a handful of small but powerful use-cases that I haven't really seen people share yet. So I'm turning them into skills/plugins and sharing them with you.
The Mac version works pretty well, since I'm a Mac user.
I've also tried to build the Windows version, but I'm flying blind there. If you're on Windows and want to beta-test it, I'd genuinely appreciate it. Open a PR with any fixes and you'll get full credit on the page, of course.
I'll share more skills over the next few weeks. Some practical, some a bit unusual, hopefully a few you haven't seen before.
My secret goal is to surprise you with the best ones, and I have a feeling the next one will raise some eyebrows.
Enjoy, and take care.
/Christian
