Everything it does, and what each one costs you
19 jobs, measured rather than described. 7 of them need the app — 80.7 minutes a day between them. The other 12 are the free command-line tool, and they account for 75.3.
Every figure comes from the same ledger the product was built against, and the site refuses to publish if one of them stops matching it.
I need to give it this whole folder and I'm feeding it one file at a time.
Select the folders in Finder, right-click once, and every file inside them is on the clipboard as one blob with a token count.
Nine terminals. One of them stopped four minutes ago and I don't know which.
Every session in one list, named by the project it is in, with the agent, the model and what it is burning. Click a row and that terminal comes forward.
Command-N, Command-V, Command-S, find the folder, type a name. Twenty-five times a day.
Right-click where it belongs. The file is named from its own first heading and its extension comes from the code inside it.
Option-right-click, Copy as Pathname, fix the quoting, repeat. Thirty-two times a day.
Select any number of files, right-click once, and every path is on the clipboard, escaped correctly.
Something is on 3000 and I cannot find which window it is in.
The menu bar lists every local server with the process and the project it belongs to. One click stops it.
It keeps asking where things are because it cannot see the project.
Right-click, pick a depth, and the skeleton is on the clipboard with the build and dependency folders left out.
I hand it the whole feature and get back something that does four things badly.
One command puts the decomposition prompt on your clipboard, the same way every time.
The key is in my Keychain and it is about to be in my shell history.
It reads the Keychain and writes the .env — and refuses outright if that .env is not already ignored by git.
I asked for a function and got a factory, an interface and a config file.
The anti-bloat prompt, on the clipboard, worded the same way every time.
I come back after lunch and reconstruct what I was in the middle of.
One line, timestamped, appended to a SCRATCHPAD.md the agent can read too.
The files I need are in four different folders and the clipboard holds one thing.
Right-click each one as you find it. The menu bar holds them, and hands them over as @mentions your agent reads itself — or as the files themselves, with a token count.
It says it is done. I have no idea what it touched.
The whole diff on the clipboard, ready to paste back and ask about.
The same change has to go into six repos and I am opening six terminals.
Name the folders once and every one of them gets its own terminal with the agent already running.
I want to share this log but I have not read every line of it.
Keys and tokens are masked before the text ever reaches your clipboard.
It says it wrote the file. Where.
The newest thing in the folder, revealed — or previewed without opening anything.
The agent cannot see the screenshot I am describing to it.
The image as a data URL on the clipboard, ready to paste into the message.
Someone needs to see this one file and it does not belong in a commit.
A secret gist and its URL on your clipboard — with the keys masked before anything leaves the machine.
I saved it as .txt again.
The extension comes from the code in the file, not from what you remembered to type.
I paste the context, wait, and find out it was too long.
The token cost per file, before you attach anything.
