ShellHistory for iPhone and iPad shows the shell history your Macs record with ShellHistory for Mac, synced through your private iCloud. It doesn't record commands itself. With ShellHistory you can: • Search your shell history, and filter it by shell, machine, session, directory, exit status or date. • See a command's details: when and where it ran, how it ended, how long it took, and every other run of it. • Explore how you work on the Statistics page: activity over time, success rate, exit codes and what they mean, your busiest hours and days, the slowest and most used commands, and your streak. • Keep the commands you need in notebooks, with placeholders like {{version}} filled in before you copy. • Have Apple Intelligence explain a command, on your device. • Find passwords, tokens and keys in your history and delete them on all your devices. • Search your history from Shortcuts, Spotlight and Siri. On iPad and the iPhone Duo, the history, a command's details and your notebooks fit side by side. Privacy Your history stays on your devices and in your private iCloud database, in encrypted fields. ShellHistory has no account and no servers of its own, and collects no data. ShellHistory is made by an independent developer.
