A command glossary for your terminal
Publisher
Valeriy Bagrintsev Latest Gloss 0.1.1 is out - the first big update since launch.
The version number is small, but Gloss has changed quite a bit. I focused on making it faster and less awkward once your command collection grows.
What’s new:
Select multiple commands and edit their tags in bulk
Copy commands directly from the TUI
Faster navigation and jumping between tag groups
A more responsive layout for different terminal sizes
Safer config scanning and transactional imports
Built-in update checks and verified updates
Plenty of smaller UI and reliability fixes
Gloss is still fully local-first: no account, cloud service, or telemetry. It remains a focused tool for saving, finding, and reusing shell commands without turning your shell config into a mess.

If you tried the first release, I’d be interested to hear whether 0.1.1 fits your workflow better.
Valeriy BagrintsevStop re-searching the same commands!
Shell history is great until it becomes a haunted attic. The command is probably there somewhere, wedged between three failed attempts, one typo, and a sudo moment that should not be legally discussed.
I built Gloss because I kept re-searching the same shell commands and spreading useful aliases across zsh, bash, notes, and random config files.
Gloss is a local-first command glossary for terminal-heavy users.
It helps you save reusable shell commands with descriptions and tags, browse/search them in a small TUI, scan zsh/bash configs for aliases, functions, and scripts, and safely sync managed aliases into your shell config with backups.
It is open source and supports macOS and Linux with both zsh and bash.
I'm mainly looking for feedback from terminal-heavy users:
- Would this fit your workflow?
- Do you currently keep reusable commands in history, aliases, notes, or tools like navi/pet/cheat?
- Is the scan/import and alias sync idea useful, or too much for a small command glossary?
