## What it is
Atuin Desktop is a local-first, executable runbook editor that combines documentation with live terminal execution, letting users chain shell commands, database queries, and HTTP requests in a single document. It supports Jinja-style templating, CRDT-based collaboration, and optional sync via Atuin Hub.

## Use cases
- create executable runbooks for ops workflows
- automate release checklists that actually run
- document infrastructure migration steps that can be executed
- chain shell commands and database queries in one place
- share repeatable workflows across a team
- turn shell history into reusable automation

## When to choose
- you need living documentation that executes instead of rotting
- your team relies on tribal-knowledge terminal workflows
- you want parameterized, templated operational runbooks
- you work offline-first but want cross-device sync

## When to avoid
- you need a fully stable, production-hardened tool (it is in open beta)
- you only want static documentation without execution
- you need non-terminal workflow automation like GUI or no-code pipelines
