Is there a Terminal command to get the current front most app's title? I'm using Übersicht and I've created a custom menubar. I want to show the title of the current active app but my search-fu isn't great. I must be searching for it incorrectly so I figured I'd ask here.

Does such a command exist?
Well there is, however if you run it directly in Terminal it's just going to return Terminal, as that's the frontmost application process that's visible.

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of application processes whose frontmost is true and visible is true'


If you want the second most, use:

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of second application process whose visible is true'
