hiSHtory is a better shell history. It stores your shell history in context (what directory you ran the command in, whether it succeeded or failed, how long it took, etc.). This is all stored locally and end-to-end encrypted for syncing to all your other computers.

Are you looking for a command that you used recently? Do you want to avoid the need to write long commands over and over again? Are you looking for a tool that is able to manage your favorite commands?
Suvadu (Tamil: "Trace") replaces your shell's built-in history with a SQLite-backed store, giving you structured storage, millisecond-precision timestamps, and a modern interactive search UI — across every terminal, IDE, and AI agent you use.

With the ShellHistory, you can easily keep years of shell history, search history using Full-Text Search, back it up to your private iCloud, and create Notebooks.
