I see it also supports fish. That's been my shell for many years, it just works really well and, as far as I can tell (couldn't find a demo on their website), it doesn't add much to fish beyond syncing?

Has anyone used fish + autuin? What are your thoughts? I'm curious to know if it is worth the extra tool, maybe I should just try it :)

I use fish + atuin. I leave the "Up" arrow set to use fish's default history search (see https://docs.atuin.sh/faq/#how-do-i-remove-the-default-up-ar...), which keeps the UI minimal when just going back one or two commands, then use atuin via Ctrl+R when I need to find a command from earlier in my history. At that point Atuin provides a nicer UI for searching the history.
