About Atuin
Atuin is a shell tool for syncing, searching and backing up command history across machines. History is encrypted on the client before it is synced, so only you can read it. It works with bash, zsh and fish without taking over an existing setup. Atuin AI runs inside the terminal you already use and lets you ask questions from an empty prompt. The sync server can also be self-hosted for people who want control over their own infrastructure and data.
Pricing is not clearly stated.
