As developers, we live in the terminal. And for me, living in the terminal is a choice for two things: speed and coolness. But let's be honest, typing cd ../../../some/deep/workspace over and over again is neither fast nor cool. You either have to remember the exact path or frantically spam the TAB key. That's why I built Proton-T — a smarter, faster cd alternative that actually learns your workflow. Proton-T allows you to "jump" to your most frequently used directories in just a few keystrokes. It works seamlessly across all major shells (Bash, Zsh, Fish, PowerShell) and uses a smart Frecency + Intent matching algorithm to understand exactly where you want to go. Forget about absolute paths. Just type what you remember. Proton-T doesn't just do dumb string matching. It calculates intents: 🧠 Frecency Engine: It balances frequency (how often you visit) and recency (how recently you visited). It ages gracefully, so your active projects are always prioritized over that one folder you opened 6 months ago. 🎯 Intent Engine: You can literally speak to your terminal. Typing t recent project computes "What was that project I touched yesterday?" and instantly jumps there. 📂 Project Awareness: It automatically detects workspaces (looking for package.json, Cargo.toml, .git, etc.) and gives them a 1.2x algorithm boost! 🔍 Smart Fallback: Never visited a folder before? Proton-T will scan your common fallback roots (like ~/Documents or ~/Downloads) on the fly to find it. Proton-T uses the t command to jump, and the ti command for an interactive menu. # Jump to the best match for 'foo' t foo # Add multiple keywords to narrow it down t foo bar # Use intent keywords to jump to exactly what you need t recent project # Go back to the previous directory t - Let me know what you think! If you're a terminal power user who loves fast CLI tools, give Proton-T a try. I'd love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or see your PRs!
