EasyAlias desktop app showing alias creation, suggestions, and generated command previews.

Desktop alias manager for developers

EasyAlias

Create, import, and maintain terminal shortcuts without hand-editing shell files or scattering command scripts across your machine.

macOS
zsh aliases
Linux
bash or zsh
Windows
cmd shortcuts

Local first. Platform aware. Built for recurring developer commands.

One idea, native habits

A shortcut workflow that respects each OS.

macOS

Generates a dedicated zsh alias file and connects it to ~/.zshrc.

source ~/.easyalias/aliases.zsh
#

Linux

Detects bash or zsh, then writes aliases into a managed shell file.

source ~/.easyalias/aliases.sh
>

Windows

Creates readable .cmd files and places them in a user PATH folder.

%USERPROFILE%\.easyalias\bin

No mystery edits

EasyAlias keeps your shell setup small.

1

Create

Choose a name, action, and path. The app previews exactly what will be generated.

2

Import

Review existing safe aliases or command files. Nothing moves before a backup exists.

3

Use

Open a new terminal and run short commands like beerv2, gs, or dcu.

Install

Start with the platform you use today.

EasyAlias is local software: no cloud account, no sync service, no hidden shell magic. It writes readable files you can inspect.

A focused interface for repeated commands.

Transparent by design

Plain files you can inspect anytime.

macOS / Linux

One generated alias file

EasyAlias keeps your startup file tiny and writes managed shortcuts somewhere obvious.

~/.easyalias/config.json
~/.easyalias/aliases.zsh
~/.easyalias/aliases.sh
Windows

Readable command scripts

Each shortcut becomes a small command file under a folder added to your user PATH.

%USERPROFILE%\.easyalias\bin
%USERPROFILE%\.easyalias\bin\beerv2.cmd

Import safety

Backups before movement

Existing aliases are reviewed first, then backed up before selected lines or files move.

~/.zshrc.easyalias-backup-*
~/.bashrc.easyalias-backup-*
~/.easyalias/import-backup-*
