try is a single-file Ruby CLI that manages experiment/scratch directories in one place, with fuzzy search, recency sorting, and auto-dated directory names. It integrates with your shell so you can jump straight into any past experiment.
Use cases
- organize throwaway experiment directories
- fuzzy search and jump to past test projects
- stop losing code written in /tmp
- auto-create dated directories for quick experiments
- quickly switch between scratch projects from the shell
When to choose
- you constantly create small throwaway projects and lose track of them
- you want a zero-config, single-file tool with no dependencies
- you want shell-integrated fuzzy navigation to experiment folders
When to avoid
- you need full project scaffolding or templates, not just directory management
- you don't use a Unix-like shell (bash/zsh/fish)
- you want a GUI or cross-platform Windows-native tool
