Series: Macchiato's Log
Today I didn't drink coffee. I drank Macchiato.
I have four projects open right now. Vue, Spring Boot, a Node worker, the Guayoyo landing page. Each uses Claude Code or OpenCode depending on the day, the mood, or whichever CLI didn't break that week.
The ritual is always the same: cd ~/projects/whatever, which claude — nope, it was OpenCode — and by the time the CLI launches I've already lost my train of thought.
The friction isn't in using the AI. It's in getting to use it. Between the idea and the prompt lies a desert of directory navigation, install checks, and lost context.
So instead of cursing at the terminal one more time, I opened Electron.
Day 1 delivered:
- Full PTY shell inside Electron (not a wrapper — a real terminal)
- Auto-detects Claude Code and OpenCode in your PATH
- Each CLI in its own tab with independent context
- SQLite persistence — close and reopen, pick up where you left off
- Zero external dependencies
Coming soon at guayoyo.tech. Free to start, because nobody should pay to open their own terminal with a button.
