Ten Hands

While running various scripts or commands daily is not all that common for the average user, for developers or other types of power users it’s something quite natural. And, when dealing with dozens of such commands or scripts that have to be run every day for the same project, things can not only become tedious but also slow.

If you happen to struggle with the sheer number of scripts that have to be run for multiple projects on a daily basis then we recommend you take a look at Ten Hands.

To keep things short, Ten Hands is an Electron-based application designed specifically to help developers improve their productivity by allowing them to organize commands, scripts, and tasks and run them with a single mouse click from the same place.

The application boasts a sleek, modern-looking GUI with minimalist accents and two available themes to perfectly suit your work environment (Dark for poorly lit workplaces and Light for the exact opposite).

Using Ten Hands could not be easier. You can start by adding a project using the “New Project” button on the upper left corner of the main window. The app provides you with various options: you can either upload an existing project file (say a node.js-based project), or you can create a new project file yourself by typing the name of the project and the project’s path directory.

Adding tasks is just as simple: simply click the New Task button, and input the name of the task, the path where the task will be executed, and the actual task. Once added, you can run or stop any tasks directly from the app’s main window.

While it is not exactly what one might call an essential app for the masses, Ten Hands will surely appeal to power users or developers who are fed up with having to run tons of commands and scripts for multiple projects on a daily basis. Ten Hands is a good-looking and definitely useful app that does its job right – that of offering an easy way to run your command-line tasks from a single place.
