Show HN: Qalam - a CLI that remembers commands
docs.qalam.devI 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.
I’d be curious what others do to remember complex commands or automate repeated workflows. Not accessible for me:
