Stop switching from Claude / Cursor / etc to Xcode just to hit Cmd+R. Xcode Run Shortcut is a lightweight macOS menu bar utility that lets you trigger Xcode builds from anywhere without stealing focus from your current app. Two use cases: - manual: whether you are, in your editor, IDE or terminal, your build is just one keystroke away. - automatic: you can tell LLMs to just run your iOS app in Xcode after finishing editing your code. No time wasted tabbing and spamming cmd+R!

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Alberto, and I built Xcode Run Shortcut to solve a classic 1st world problem. The "problem": I help myself with Claude Code for iOS development, and it's amazing, but every time they finish making changes, I had to switch to Xcode and hit Cmd+R. Sounds small, but it breaks flow and adds up fast. The solution: A tiny menu bar app that triggers Xcode builds from anywhere. One global shortcut (customizable), no focus stealing, and a CLI so AI assistants can trigger builds automatically. Built with: Pure Swift, native macOS APIs, ~500KB. it works with any language/custom shortcuts I tried. What I learned: Getting focus restoration right was tricky: had to use bundle identifiers instead of process names to handle Electron apps properly. Also, macOS permissions are... fun 😅 I'd love feedback on: - Would you use this? What other features would make it more useful? - Other workflows where global shortcuts + CLI would help? Thanks for checking it out! Happy to answer any questions 🚀
