Probably a little late to this, because herdr has really eaten this segment. With their new Mac app, I don't see myself going back to atuin for this kind of experience. In fact, I get a little peeved using it on a vanilla terminal.

Threads doesn’t compete with herdr, the two actually go together really nicely

Atuin indexes all your past sessions, herdr multiplexes all your present sessions.

We made a mod for herdr desktop to integrate the two: https://herdr.dev/mods/atuinsh/herdr-atuin-threads/

What peeves you on the vanilla terminal?

Cool, I'll take a look at this.

What peeves me is the poor responsiveness when navigating history. Pressing up or ctrl+r has this lag which throws off my typing. I'm on a pretty well specced setup, too. I used to be able to tolerate it, but since I barely do things directly from the command line anymore and have Claude worry about most of the command construction, the experience can be particularly grating.

Chalk it up to ever more instant gratification :)

great! please let me know if you have any issues

Ahh. We've done a lot of work to improve this lately, if you're not using the daemon please try

``` atuin config enable daemon ```

and it should perform much better (it's the default on new installs)

I'm using atuin as part of my Herdr setup. Atuin is not a replacement shell or multiplexer, it's basically a really advanced shell history.

Its multi host mode is pretty limited still. Like especially with a web ui, it will just install a random, auto-updating binary on the other machine, which I didn't feel comfortable with. I would much rather have herdr itself manage the connection completely, not a plugin.
