v3
turning nixos into a cozier place to live ♡
NixOS is powerful, but it can be a lot. Nina keeps the whole workflow — packages, options, rebuilds, services, remote machines — right at the prompt. Rewritten in Zig. Zero dependencies.

why people keep her around
one steady tool for the work nixos keeps throwing at you
She handles the parts of NixOS that used to mean switching tabs, hunting for package names, and reading through config docs — all from one warm, consistent prompt.
inline package + option search
Search stays attached to the prompt instead of taking over the whole terminal. Browse nixpkgs, preview NixOS options, install, try, or copy — all without leaving your flow.
search · option · install · tryprompt-native install recovery
Misspelled or fuzzy installs recover inline with a compact selector — no fullscreen app, no context switch.
install · remove · try · listsystem changes, without the cliff edge
Preview a change, test it, apply it, or roll back without switching mental models halfway through the job.
diff · test · apply · backremote boxes still feel local
When you move from your laptop to a server, Nina keeps the verbs steady, right through deploys, storage cleanup, and machine-wide checks.
apply --on · status --on · cleanstarter shelf
a few good verbs to keep nearby
These are the ones you'll reach for on a normal NixOS day.
search + install at the prompt
Inline package search, option search, and install that recovers from typos without dropping you into a separate screen.

remote machine support
Any command runs on a remote machine via SSH with `--on <machine>`. Roll out changes, check health, inspect services — all from your local prompt.
nina apply --on azulanina hellonina status --on azulanina doctor
A small shelf, but a useful one.
remote machines
same voice, even over ssh
Nina keeps remote work from turning into a whole new personality. Same verbs, same little reassurances, same sense of where you are.
