StickyCommand is a modernized continuation of the original Command Pad project.
The original application provided a simple but effective way to manage frequently used development commands from a desktop interface. However, the upstream project had been inactive for nearly a decade, and parts of the infrastructure and ecosystem were no longer compatible with modern environments.
This repository is a maintained fork focused on stability, usability, and compatibility improvements while preserving the lightweight workflow developers appreciated in the original project.

- Improved compatibility with modern Node.js and macOS environments
- Stabilized command execution flow
- Removed or replaced broken upstream resources
- Added command grouping support
- Improved maintainability for future development
- Save frequently used terminal commands
- Execute commands with a single click
- Start and stop processes directly from the desktop UI
- Monitor command output in real time
