hishtory is a shell history tool that captures far more than just commands. It records the directory you were in, whether commands succeeded or failed, and execution time, creating a rich searchable database of your terminal work. All data is stored locally and end-to-end encrypted for secure syncing across your devices.

Key capabilities include:

Advanced querying via Control+R with support for filtering by hostname, user, exit code, date range, and more
Cross-device access to your complete history from any computer with automatic synchronization
AI-powered command suggestions using ChatGPT when you need help constructing complex commands
Selective recording control with enable/disable functionality and redaction of sensitive entries
Customizable interface with configurable columns, color schemes, and keyboard bindings
Self-hosting and offline options for users who prefer local-only installations
Support for bash, zsh, and fish shells

The tool is designed for developers and power users who frequently reference past commands or need to find specific work performed on different machines. Instead of scrolling through endless history, you can query with context like "docker run" hostname:my-server to find exactly what you need. The encrypted syncing means your command history remains private while staying accessible everywhere you work.
