Your terminal history is full of answers you've already forgotten. Terminaster turns the real commands you use into flashcards you'll actually remember. Capture a command, let AI break it down, and review it with spaced repetition before it disappears from your head again. WHY DEVELOPERS USE TERMINASTER - Capture terminal, CLI, and shell commands as you work, without building a study system from scratch. - Turn pipelines, flags, and one-liners into clear flashcards instantly. - Review on mobile in short bursts, then get back to coding. - Keep git, docker, ssh, linux, unix, and bash commands fresh without living in bookmarks and cheat sheets. - Explore community command decks when you want to learn beyond your own history. BUILT FOR REAL COMMANDS This isn't a generic flashcard app for exams. It's for developers and terminal users who keep researching the same commands and want to memorize them once, use them faster, and keep them ready for real workflows. Paid subscription required to use the app. LEGAL Privacy Policy: https://pomisoft.dev/terminaster/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://pomisoft.dev/terminaster/terms
