Speedify Command Line Interface (CLI) Guide for MacOS
This article explains how to set up and use the Speedify Command Line Interface (CLI) on macOS so you can control Speedify directly from your Terminal.
speedify_cli is only available with the macOS version of Speedify downloaded from the Speedify website. The App Store version of Speedify does not include the CLI.
Let's Get Started
There are two ways to set up the speedify_cli in Terminal. The first method using the Speedify menu bar is the quickest.
Method 1: Set Up via the Speedify Menu Bar
Step 1
Right-click the Speedify icon in your menu bar and select Set Up CLI for Terminal.

Speedify will copy the speedify_cli path to your clipboard automatically.
Step 2
Open your Terminal app, then paste the path using Cmd + V and press Enter. After that, close and reopen Terminal so the change takes effect.

Step 3
From now on, you can type speedify_cli followed by any command directly in Terminal. For example, to connect:
speedify_cli connect

Method 2: Set Up via Finder
If you prefer, you can locate the speedify_cli binary manually through Finder.
Step 1
Open your Applications folder in Finder and find the Speedify app. Right-click it and select Show Package Contents. Then navigate to Contents > Resources - you'll see the speedify_cli file there.

Step 2
Drag and drop the speedify_cli file into your Terminal window. This pastes the full path automatically. You can then type your command directly after it. For example:
/Applications/Speedify.app/Contents/Resources/speedify_cli connect
Did you know - the Speedify CLI supports a full set of commands for managing your connections, adjusting settings, and more? See the Speedify CLI Command Reference for a complete list of available commands.
