Qalam - a CLI that remembers commands

Hacker News

I kept running into the same problem as a developer: I forget commands I’ve already figured out. Docker cleanup sequences. Deployments with 15 flags. Test commands that finally worked. Every time, I ended up digging through bash history or Googling. It was wasting mental energy. So I built Qalam, a CLI that actually remembers commands. What it does: - Ask in natural language: “How do I kill the process on port 3000?” - Save commands with meaningful names: “deploy” instead of cryptic abbreviations - Automate workflows: my 5-command morning setup is now one command - Keep everything local: no cloud, no privacy worries - Zero configuration: works immediately I’ve been using it for weeks. Deployments are foolproof. Morning setup is one command. When something breaks, I ask my terminal instead of Googling. https://docs.qalam.dev I’d be curious what others do to remember complex commands or automate repeated workflows.
