FileSentinel is a macOS utility that listens to changes in text files such as .zsh_history, .bash_history, or .fish_history. It automatically captures, deduplicates, and indexes commands, allowing users to quickly search, pin, and access their command history directly from the menu bar without opening a terminal. It supports importing existing history and full-text search, making it ideal for developers who want to recall complex commands efficiently.
