Its README frames it as both a command-line interface and a text-user interface for snippets kept in the terminal. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created on 2022-11-12, and the only GitHub releases returned by the releases API were v0.1.0 and v0.1.1, both published on 2022-11-21. The repository was still visible and starred in 2026, but the release history is short and the upstream scope is intentionally narrow. The project comes from Maas Lalani's ecosystem of polished terminal tools. Nap's README emphasizes a simple workflow: launch `nap` for a TUI, save snippets from stdin or files, retrieve snippets by fuzzy-ish name, pipe snippets to files or clipboards, and store configuration under `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nap/config.yaml` or `$NAP_CONFIG`. ### Adoption history GitHub API data fetched on 2026-07-01 showed 2,209 stars and 64 forks, which is good visibility for a personal productivity CLI. Homebrew's formula JSON generated on 2026-07-01 reported 145 installs over 365 days and 18 installs over 30 days, so package-manager usage is small even though the repository attracted attention. The adoption pattern is typical for a boutique developer tool: users discover it from GitHub, demos, dotfiles, or terminal-tool circles, then use it if its local snippet workflow matches their habits. It is not infrastructure and has no broad dependency graph. ### How it is used Users run `nap` to open the TUI, press keys to create/edit/copy/delete snippets, or use CLI pipes such as `nap Notes/FizzBuzz.go < main.go`, `curl ... | nap Notes/FizzBuzz.go`, `nap list`, `nap go/boilerplate > main.go`, or `nap foobar | pbcopy`. Package nerds should think of Nap as a dotfiles-adjacent productivity binary. The useful package metadata is the executable name, config location, and storage behavior; there is not much deeper ecosystem history beyond the repository and formula. ### Why package nerds care Nap is significant as a compact example of the modern Go TUI/CLI wave: single-purpose, Homebrew-installable, pipe-friendly, and intended to live inside a developer's terminal workflow. Its package significance is practical rather than infrastructural. ### Timeline - 2022-11-12: maaslalani/nap repository created on GitHub. - 2022-11-21: v0.1.0 and v0.1.1 releases published. - 2026-07-01: Homebrew formula JSON listed stable version 0.1.1 and 145 installs over 365 days. ### Related projects - Charm Gum - pbcopy - xclip - GitHub Gist ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
