Release / 16 Oct 2026 / with v18.24.0

Atuin v18.24.1

Resume a captured coding-agent conversation on another machine or continue it in another agent.

Before you upgrade to v18.24.1

3 to fix

`workspaces` now defaults to `true`, making workspace filtering available for commands across a Git repository tree. Set it to `false` to disable it.

Behavior changedLimit a history search to the current session, directory or host, or search everything.Affects: Users who have not explicitly set `workspaces`

Config now defaults to `~/.atuin/config.toml` and data to `~/.atuin/data`. Absolute `ATUIN_HOME` selects another root; with it unset, existing legacy locations are still used when the new locations lack the files.

Behavior changedRead and set Atuin settings from the command line with `atuin config`.Affects: New installations and users choosing a new Atuin home

Before moving `config.toml`, review `permissions.ai.toml`, `skills` and `TERMINAL.md`: they become global when `~/.atuin/config.toml` exists. Move home-scoped items into project subdirectories and merge duplicate legacy AI files as needed.

Action requiredGenerate a shell command or ask a question in plain words with `atuin ai`.Affects: Users moving legacy config into `~/.atuin` with existing AI files there

Set an explicit `daemon.socket_path` in each profile to avoid connecting to a different profile's daemon.

Action requiredRun a background daemon that starts on its own and keeps a fast in-memory search index.Affects: Users selecting multiple profiles with `ATUIN_HOME`

Restart the daemon after upgrading so its build matches the client. With autostart enabled, Atuin replaces a daemon from another build automatically.

Action requiredRun a background daemon that starts on its own and keeps a fast in-memory search index.Affects: Users with a running daemon from a different build and `daemon.autostart = false`Inferred

What changed in v18.24.1

`atuin threads enable` opts into encrypted conversation capture and sync, and `atuin resume` opens a picker with resume, fork and continuation choices. This release also enables workspace filtering by default and introduces `ATUIN_HOME` alongside legacy-location fallback.

Also: Jump to a past command's directory, filter captured output, configure MCP clients, and keep existing installs on legacy paths while new installs use ~/.atuin.

v18.24.1, including v18.24.0; release binaries or source builds with Rust 1.95. Thread capture is opt-in and requires the daemon; resuming requires an installed compatible agent.

New things you can do

`atuin threads` lists, reads, searches and imports threads; `atuin resume` resumes or forks them, including synced threads. v18.24.1 adds oh-my-pi (`omp`) support.

AddedCapture, search and sync coding-agent conversations, then resume, fork or continue them in another agent.

`accept-cd` and `return-cd` are bound to `ctrl-a g` and `ctrl-a G` in prefix mode.

AddedChange to the directory where a selected history command ran, or place that directory-change command on your command line.

Fixed and improved

`atuin mcp install <agent>` configures Claude Code, Codex, opencode or Pi. New `atuin_threads_search`, `atuin_threads_list` and `atuin_threads_read` tools expose captured threads; history search ranks matches containing every term first.

ImprovedLet AI tools search your shell history through Atuin's MCP server.

Date filters without an explicit offset use the configured timezone or `--timezone`; `--before` and `--after` no longer disregard that timezone.

Now worksQuery history from the command line, for example successful `make` runs after 3pm yesterday.Inferred

`[output].command_filter` excludes output while keeping history. `[security].redact_patterns` and `sensitive_files` add custom redaction and file exclusions; built-in credential rules also apply to threads.

ImprovedCapture the output of the commands you run so you or your tools can read it later.

`atuin config enable` and `disable` manage the daemon and output capture with their dependencies. New keys are inserted near their documented examples, preserving existing formatting and comments.

ImprovedRead and set Atuin settings from the command line with `atuin config`.

History is saved locally if the daemon cannot start; shell hook calls time out when a daemon is unresponsive.

Now worksRecord each command with its exit code, directory, host, session and duration in a SQLite database.

Unattended login accepts `ATUIN_PASSWORD`, `ATUIN_ENCRYPTION_KEY` or `--password -` for stdin. Self-hosted PostgreSQL/MySQL servers can read a database password from `db_password_file` or `ATUIN_DB_PASSWORD_FILE` instead of the URI.

ImprovedSync your shell history between machines, encrypted end to end, through Atuin's server or your own.
