Save and reuse your terminal commands.
Stop digging through shell history and scratch files. Hutchlet turns the commands you run all day into fill-in templates and reusable snippets — preview the exact command, then paste it. You decide when to press Enter.

Command templates with parameters
Cheat Sheets are commands with fill-in fields. Enter the parameters, see a live preview of the exact command with values substituted, and copy or paste it. A risk badge flags destructive operations, and the riskiest need an explicit confirmation.
Snippets for the text you reuse
Save the one-liners, config blocks and commands you paste on repeat. Add {fields} to fill in on paste, and organise everything into folders so the right snippet is a search away.
Prepared, previewed, pasted — not executed
Hutchlet is a clipboard tool, not an auto-runner. It renders the command with your values and hands it over — you review it and press Enter yourself. And because secrets are detected and encrypted behind Touch ID, tokens in your commands don’t sit in plain-text history.
Terminal snippet questions
How is this different from shell history?
Shell history is a flat log you scroll and re-run. Hutchlet gives you named, searchable templates and snippets with fill-in parameters and a live preview — and it never runs anything; you paste and press Enter yourself.
Can I share a command with a teammate?
Yes. Save a filled-in command as a Saved Session and hand it over as a portable link — they get the exact command, parameters and preview, and still decide whether to run it. No secrets are attached.
Do my commands or tokens leave my Mac?
No. The current build has no networking entitlement, so it makes no network calls. Detected secrets are encrypted locally with Apple CryptoKit and revealed only behind Touch ID.
