Show HN: Qalam - a CLI that remembers commands

http://docs.qalam.dev/
1•grandimam•15m ago
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.
