try is a lightweight Ruby command-line tool for managing short-lived experiment directories. It is built for developers who constantly create quick tests, prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and late-night coding experiments that usually get lost across temporary folders. The tool gives every experiment a dated home, then makes it easy to find and reopen past work with fuzzy search. It favors simplicity, using a one-file Ruby script with no dependencies and very little setup. Smart sorting brings recently used experiments to the top, which helps users jump back into active ideas without remembering exact folder names. It is ideal for developers who want a low-friction workspace system for creative technical exploration without turning every experiment into a full project.
