Installation

Using bin (Recommended)

Install using bin:

bin install https://github.com/pinepeakdigital/buzz

This will download the latest release and make it available in your PATH.

To update:

bin update buzz

Homebrew

Install using Homebrew:

brew tap narthur/tap
brew install narthur/tap/buzz

To upgrade:

brew upgrade narthur/tap/buzz

Direct Download

You can also download pre-built binaries directly from the releases page. Choose the appropriate binary for your operating system and architecture.

To update, download the latest release from the releases page and replace your existing binary.

macOS Users

If you download the binary directly from GitHub releases, macOS may show an "unidentified developer" warning. To resolve this, remove the quarantine attribute:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/buzz

Replace /path/to/buzz with the actual path to the downloaded binary.

Note: This workaround is only needed for direct downloads. If you install via bin (recommended) or build from source, you won't encounter this issue.

From Source

If you have Go installed, you can install and update using the same command:

go install github.com/pinepeakdigital/buzz@latest

Usage

Run buzz with no arguments to launch the interactive TUI, or use a subcommand such as buzz today or buzz add for one-shot, scriptable output.

The full reference — authentication, configuration, every command, and TUI navigation — lives in the documentation:
