About Atuin
Atuin is an open source tool that syncs, searches and backs up your shell history. It encrypts history end to end and works with bash, zsh, fish and other shells.
What it does
Atuin replaces the usual Ctrl+R history search with a richer search that filters by directory, exit code, duration and host name. Your history can sync across machines, and it is encrypted on your device before it is stored. Atuin AI can answer questions from inside your prompt and suggest commands that you can run or insert.
Key features
- Sync shell history across your machines
- Search by directory, exit code and duration
- End-to-end encrypted history
- Self-host the sync server if you prefer
- Atuin AI from an empty prompt
Who it's for
Developers and DevOps engineers who work across several machines, and anyone who wants a searchable record of past commands.
Pricing and good to know
Atuin is open source under the MIT license, and its sync server is open source too, so you can run your own. Atuin AI is free during testing. It is available for macOS, Linux and Windows.
