// how to actually use it

from install to dinner, in a few keys

a practical walkthrough — install, browse and order in the terminal app, save a preset and reorder from your shell, and hand it to your AI agent.

// one command

install

One line gets you a signed binary that self-updates on every launch.

stable

1

First run opens your browser to authorize once against Swiggy.

2

Your token is stored in your OS keyring — no server, no database, ever.

3

That's it. Run console any time after — it's a one-time step.

// the full-screen app

the app

presets & the alias

Save a cart once, reorder forever — from the app or straight from your shell.

1

Build a cart in the app — add whatever you'd order again.

2

Press : to open the command palette.

3

Run alias set <name> — that cart is now a named preset.

command palette
: alias set usual-dinner
saved · Meghana Foods · HSR Layout, BLR

A preset is bound to the restaurant and delivery address it was saved with, so console order usual-dinner always reorders exactly what you snapshotted.

shell
$ console order usual-dinner
$ console alias list
$ console alias rm usual-dinner
// headless, no TUI

the command line

Every subcommand runs headless — plain text, no full-screen app.
