Show HN: Zsh plugin to switch macOS Terminal.app profiles
sfcodes Wednesday, March 04, 2026
I wrote a small Zsh plugin that lets you switch macOS Terminal.app profiles directly from the command line.
It's useful if you color-code environments (prod, staging, dev) or when you have a lot of terminals open of the same thing — multiple Claude or Codex sessions, SSH connections, or different projects — and want a quick visual way to tell them apart.
Type `profile` and press Tab to see and autocomplete all available Terminal.app profiles.

This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to create a custom ZSH terminal profile, including customizing the prompt, adding Git information, and enhancing the overall terminal experience for developers.
