What's New in ShellHistory

3.2.1

October 28, 2026

• Paths from your Mac show your home folder as ~. • Statistics no longer counts grep finding no match, diff finding differences, a false test or pgrep finding no process as failed commands, and History no longer shows them in red. • Running time in Statistics leaves out editors, pagers, ssh and tmux sessions, database shells and Python or Node prompts, so the slowest commands are the ones that took long to run. • Statistics loads faster on large histories.

Perfect App and Support

I had a problem for a week and before I could write a ticket the problem was already solved by the developer. Very good work. Thank you very much and keep up the good work.

Bugs bugs bugs

Just lost a notebook full of commands after trying to rename it... and the rename didn't even stick! Can't copy multiple commands at once or addto anotebook.

This app would bo so useful if it wasn't so broken.

Response from developer

Hello! Foremost, sorry that you have lost a notebook full of commands. That is unfortunate, and I understand that you can be mad about it. Your review made me worried as well, so I went ahead and tested everything again, checked the code, and I just don't see so far a way to lose the notebook. Unless there were some issues with the file system, and the database got corrupted, or maybe there is some other concurrency issue with the sync that I have missed. The thing is, I am doing soft deletes, not hard. Meaning it is probably possible to recover your notebook. You are welcome to email me to support@loshadki.app, and we can look at it. Calling it with bugs-bugs-bugs is a little unfair. I understand you are mad because of that notebook, and I am not sure what has happened. I am one step away to help or hear feedback at support@loshadki.app. Secondary, I do understand that you might want to have some different requirements from the ShellHistory, than I intended. In that case, just email them to support@loshadki.app - I will add them to the backlog and implement eventually if I understand the use case.

Works nicely

Easy to use, integration worked perfectly, thank you for the good app

Extremely useful

I use the command line a lot.

Sometimes I need to repeat a command from a while ago, or from a different shell instance. Both of these use cases are made substantially easier using ShellHistory. As useful as built-in shell history is, sometimes it fails me, and ShellHistory is there to help me.
