Atuin is a productivity tool that revolutionizes the way you retrieve and store shell commands. It allows users to access their command history from any device, thanks to its database and end-to-end encryption feature. The creator of Atuin, Ellie, decided to start a company and dedicate herself full-time to the project. She had always believed that the shell should be more user-friendly, and that’s why she created Atuin. The tool gained traction quickly, with a growing number of contributors and a supportive community. Ellie shared her journey and expressed her desire to add premium features for advanced users and support business use cases. She also relied on sponsorship to cover the server bills and hopes to build valuable features that people are willing to pay for, in order to sustain and grow Atuin. She invited suggestions and support from users and companies alike.
