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.

Great App for Fish Shell

It's the app that I didn't know that I needed. I'm always copying / pasting fish shell commands from iTerm over to either Bear or Drafts to keep my work MOSH sessions and this just helps me just in case the commands disappear from my screen and I can't get back to them.

The ability to search everything makes it that much better.

Thank you for the review!

Very Useful

A neat app that works very well. The history itself is useful alone but being able to store commands and associated notes really elevates it.

Excellent Complement to Bash Shell history

As a developer, ShellHistory has been a nice complement to my workflow over the last week I’ve used it. I’m often jumping between different development environments for different tasks, and ShellHistory has been excellent for organizing frequently used commands. This is particularly useful for when the default bash history program is cluttered with commands over time. I still use bash history for recently used commands, but organization and iCloud syncing abilities of ShellHistory are definitely features I would seriously miss if I didn’t have them. I’m still figuring out how best to use ShellHistory, but I can tell it’s very well thought out so far and it seems light weight in performance from my limited experience. I’d definitely recommend the software for anyone who is a medium to heavy user of terminal on macOS.

Easy access to past commands

If you spend any time working in the terminal, ShellHistory makes it easy to find, organize and re-run any and all of your previous commands. Being able to arrange commands into folders keeps related entries together for quick access; video, netowrking, general system commands, etc. And yes, it has earned a place on the dock.

Useful App

As an app and web developer I'm in the Terminal a lot. Heck, it even has a permanent place on my Dock and is very customized to my prefeeences. The history functions in most shells are less than optimal, espeecially when trying to actually find anything. ShellHistory solves this. After an easy setup process editing your shell's config it allows you to easily search through your history. It even records exit status, which the normal history doesn't quite do. The only problem I have with it is remembering that it is there instead of using the default history in-shell. Maybe the developer can sometime come up with a way for us to easily jump from the shell into this app.

Alex, thank you for review! Don't forget that you can use shhist as well (run shhist --help). Maybe alias it somehow to make it easy to remember to use it all the time.... And as an idea, that I am going to write down, maybe make ability to open ShellHistory UI with shhist app.
