atuin

brew install atuin v18.16.1 MIT

Sync, search and backup shell history across devices with end-to-end encryption; works with bash, zsh, fish, and nushell.

Why you might care

Replaces your shell's default history with a searchable, syncable database that persists across devices and sessions. Useful if you work on multiple machines or want full-text search and statistics on your command history. Much more powerful than `history` or `!` recall, and includes optional server-side sync with client-side encryption.
