A simple Rust App to run stored shell commands from a config (Commands.json) file via a menu with options.
This is a simple app I wrote to help learn Rust and also to give me a framework for my daily CLI workflow. It tracks completion of each command and execution.
Commands are stored in a cli_menu_cmd.json JSON file located at your OS-Appropriate data folder using rust Directories config_dir.

Example of my daily Usage with Tod
I have each of my daily task contexts grouped into a query command, that I then work through one at a time, starting from the top, as a daily routie.
I use this script to run my Todo list (CLI Menu) and Zoom the window, so I have it setup and mapped to a single td command which does the following:
- Runs the Applescript
zoom_iterm.scptwithosascript zoom_iterm.scpt- this script opens a new iTerm window with saved profileCLI_Largewhich is a saved profile that resizes the window and moves it to the bottom of my screen automatically - Executes the CLI_Menu program
You can configure custom window position/size in here if needed but it's not necessary as iTerm saves profile window locations for me.
However, in most cases I just have iTerm reopen saved windows, so even that isn't always necessary :)
