### What we like

Sync your shell history between machines - E2E encrypted, or host your own sync-server. Filter by host, directory, fuzzy search. Search from the CLI or use the interactive TUI. Generate fun stats e.g. most used commands (last 24hrs & full history). Import existing history.

### Tradeoffs

Limited key binding customizations.
