Atuin is a Rust‑based command‑line tool that replaces your shell history with a searchable SQLite database. It adds encryption‑backed synchronization across machines and an interactive UI for recalling commands.

Use cases

• search my shell history by command, directory, exit code, or duration
• sync my command history securely between my laptop and desktop
• recover a previously run command after a system crash
• view statistics about my most used commands
• quickly jump to a past command using a numeric shortcut
• ask Atuin AI for command suggestions directly from the terminal

When to choose

• You need a unified, searchable history across multiple shells (bash, zsh, fish, etc.)
• You want end‑to‑end encrypted sync of command history between devices
• You prefer a terminal‑native UI without installing a separate GUI
• You value additional context like exit codes, durations, and working directories

When to avoid

• You require a graphical history manager with mouse interaction
• Your environment does not allow installing Rust binaries or compiling from source
• You need a history solution that works on non‑POSIX shells (e.g., Windows PowerShell) without additional setup
