Gloss is a local-first command glossary for terminal users. Save reusable shell commands with descriptions and tags, browse/search them in a small TUI, scan zsh/bash configs, and safely sync managed aliases with backups.
I built Gloss because I kept re-searching the same shell commands and scattering aliases across notes, history, and shell config files.
Gloss is a local-first command glossary for terminal-heavy users. It lets you save reusable 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 shell config files with backups.
It is open source and supports macOS and Linux with both zsh and bash.
I’d especially like feedback on the TUI workflow, alias sync behavior, and whether the scan/import flow matches how terminal users actually manage commands.
