Core Features
Command Library
1. 1650+ offline entries: 1050+ Linux CLIs, 300 CMD Batch commands, and 300 PowerShell cmdlets. Topics include filesystem, text, processes, networking, containers (docker, kubectl, helm), version control (git, gh), build tools (cargo, go, cmake), and Windows essentials such as dir, robocopy, netsh, winget, Get-ChildItem, and Get-Process.
2. Linux uses 14 categories; CMD and PowerShell each have their own layout for clearer cross-platform study.
3. Every command includes a concise summary and a Markdown article with syntax, flags, examples, and notes.
Cross-Platform Equivalents
1. 100+ mapped groups across Linux, CMD, and PowerShell. Jump between ls, dir, and Get-ChildItem from the detail screen in one tap.
2. Learn the Windows counterpart while studying Linux, or the Linux side while on Windows.
3. Favorites can link across platforms so your study stays connected.
Shell Platform Switcher
1. Switch among Linux, CMD Batch, or PowerShell from Commands, Categories, or Daily Quiz without extra tabs.
2. Search and browse stay scoped to the active platform.

Fast Lookup

2. Quiz sets and scores are tracked separately per shell platform.
3. Reshuffle, streak tracking, and one-tap review from wrong answers back to command detail.
4. Favorites, recents, and a wrong-answer notebook. All progress stays on device.
