Local Command Suggestions

Predict commands from your Zsh history and bundled command catalog, with keyboard navigation and quick acceptance right in the terminal.

When a folder contains a .git repository, click the git icon to view the last 50 commits. See author, date, and message at a glance, and click any commit hash to copy it to your clipboard.

Track CPU, RAM, and energy impact with live sidebar histograms, so you can spot heavy sessions before they slow you down.
