Company
Fig
Fig adds visual apps, shortcuts, and autocomplete to your terminal.
We are building Fig, a terminal enhancement that provides autocomplete, visual apps, and shortcuts directly in the command line. Our product makes the terminal easier to use for beginners while adding powerful tools for advanced engineers. The first feature we shipped is autocomplete, but we plan to launch a full App Store ecosystem for the terminal experience.
We live and are based in San Francisco, CA. The company would remain in San Francisco after YC.
San Francisco has the engineering talent and startup community we need. Being here keeps us close to early users and collaborators.
