Macchiato Day 2: Live Metrics, Shortcuts & Parallel Terminals

Macchiato Day 2 — Header

Series: Macchiato's Log — Day 1 · Day 2


Yesterday Macchiato was born. Today it grew teeth. Day 2 brought real muscle to the agentic terminal:

Live Token Sidebar — Input/output tokens + cost, updating in real time as text streams. Watch your wallet while you type.

Consumption Dashboard — Per-session, daily, weekly, monthly breakdowns. Know exactly where your API budget is going.

Keyboard Shortcuts — Ctrl+Shift+1 for Claude Code, Ctrl+Shift+2 for OpenCode, Ctrl+P command palette, and 10 more shortcuts that keep your hands where they belong.

Configurable Limits — Daily/monthly/session caps with native OS notifications. Seatbelts for your API bill.

Grid View — 2 to 4 independent terminals in parallel. Claude Code and OpenCode side by side. Frontend + backend simultaneously.

Multi-Execution — One command, all terminals. Broadcast keystrokes across all panels. Squad programming with a single shortcut.

Macchiato is still private beta but building fast. Coming soon at guayoyo.tech.
