Atuin Desktop

The desktop client provides an editor for executable runbooks that combine shell commands, database queries, and HTTP requests into a single document‑like view. Users can create, edit, and run these runbooks directly from the interface, reducing the need to switch between a terminal and separate scripts. The tool integrates with the Atuin CLI, allowing runbooks to reference the user’s synchronized shell history for autocomplete and context.

It is built for macOS (and Linux) and targets developers who manage repetitive terminal workflows or need shared, version‑controlled command sequences. Collaboration is supported through a CRDT‑based local‑first model, enabling multiple users to edit the same runbook simultaneously while preserving consistency.

Distinctive aspects include the seamless blend of documentation and execution, instant access to encrypted, synced command history for suggestions, and the ability to keep runbooks up‑to‑date without external tooling. The project is open source, stable, and focuses on enhancing terminal productivity.
