HSTR is a command line TUI utility that provides an interactive suggest box for viewing, navigating, searching, and managing bash and zsh command history. It improves on Ctrl-r history search with features like bookmarking favorite commands and deleting sensitive or obsolete history entries.

Use cases

  • search shell command history interactively
  • find a command I used recently in bash
  • avoid retyping long commands in the terminal
  • bookmark favorite shell commands
  • remove sensitive commands from bash history
  • better alternative to Ctrl-r history search

When to choose

  • you use bash or zsh daily and want faster history recall
  • you need to manage, clean, or bookmark command history
  • you find Ctrl-r search insufficient for your workflow

When to avoid

  • you use shells other than bash or zsh
  • you need a GUI or graphical history manager
  • you want persistent cross-machine history sync
