A modern, multi-shell command-line productivity logger and terminal history tool.

Features

• Stores logs in a fast, efficient SQLite database in ~/.context/prynt.sqlite
• Powerful CLI:
  • prynt log — View complete history (with --less, --reverse)
  • prynt today, prynt weekly — Filter by time
  • prynt summary <folder> — Per-project stats
  • prynt top — Top N most used commands
  • prynt projects — List all project folders with stats
  • prynt search <pattern> — Search history for commands
  • prynt stats — Overall productivity stats
  • prynt clear — Clear all logs (with confirmation)
  • Export/share: --export and --markdown for summaries
• Multi-shell support: bash, zsh, fish
• Easy onboarding: prynt init auto-detects your shell and offers to configure it
