Open In opens the selected worktree’s directory in Finder, Terminal, or apps you register yourself. There’s a single global list, and you can use a different list per repository if you need one.

​
Default entries

Default entries are the 4 built into the app. You can’t delete them, and turning off the toggle hides them from the menu.
Open in browser appears in the menu only when ParalleLane can determine the repository’s web address, even with the toggle on. There’s no automatic detection of installed apps. You have to add anything besides Finder and Terminal yourself.

​
Editing the global list

Edit the default list shared by every repository in Settings → ParalleLane → Open In. Toggling an entry or adding or removing an app saves immediately. There’s no separate save button.
The toggles and the Add app button are disabled until settings finish loading. If the save fails, an Update failed toast appears.

​
Adding an app

Click Add app in the Added apps row and pick an app. On macOS, the picker starts at /Applications and takes applications (.app); on Windows, it takes executables (.exe). The name comes from the file name with its extension removed (/Applications/Warp.app → Warp), and the icon is taken from the app. You can edit the name field, and the change takes effect when it loses focus. The app’s full path appears on the right of the row, and the trash button removes it. Added apps are listed after the default entries, in the order you added them.
What gets registered is the app’s path at the time you selected it. If you move or delete the app, launching it fails. Delete the entry and add it again.

​
Changing an icon

Click the icon button to the left of an added app’s name (Change icon) to open the App icon window. Pick a mode at the top, check the preview, and click Apply. The icon you choose appears as is in the Open in… menu. Default entries have fixed icons (Open in browser uses an icon matching the host, or a globe icon when the host is unknown).

​
Per-repository settings and precedence

PRO only. Only per-repository overrides are a Pro feature. The global list can be edited on any plan, and clicking Override on Basic shows an upgrade prompt.
In Settings → Projects → Open In, pick a repository, then choose Inherit or Override in the Project Open In row.

Inherit

Uses the global list as is. No separate editable list is shown.

Override

A list just for this repository appears below, and you edit it the same way as the global list.
When an override exists, only that list is used and the global list is ignored. The 2 lists don’t merge. An app you later add to the global list doesn’t automatically carry over.
  • Inherit → Override copies the global list at that moment as a starting point.
  • Override → Inherit deletes the repository’s list and follows the global list again. Overriding again copies the global list at that later time.
The switch button is disabled until the override state is confirmed, and while the switch is being processed.
  • The menu order can’t be changed. Default entries come first in a fixed order, followed by added apps in the order you added them. To reorder them, delete and re-add.
  • Hide everything and the button disappears. If you turn off every default entry and have no added apps, the Open In button doesn’t appear in the top bar.
  • It opens the worktree directory. The path it passes along is the directory of the worktree you’re currently viewing, whatever file or commit you have selected.
