¬ just serendipity 🍀 (not just serendipity)

Humans are terrible at remembering complex command lines.

This issue compounds whenever there is a myriad of commands to remember.

I’ve been thinking for ages on how to address this gap efficiently. I finally got a decent workflow.

• Unlimited + synchronized shell history: atuin.
• Text expander: espanso.

And now, the missing piece: a snippets manager.

There are three good options:

• MassCode
• Snippets Lab
• pet: command-line

I am piloting Snippets Lab¹. It has integration with Raycast, and also a system tray icon.

These three solutions are enough to manage anything I may ever want to recall. Commands at my fingertips.

We can finish with the cherry on top: LogSeq entries to archive deprecated or potentially useful commands.

From 2026 onwards, no command shall ever be lost.

Note: The aforementioned programs are intended for macOS. Atuin, Espanso, MassCode, pet and LogSeq are cross-platform. Snippets Lab is macOS only.
