macro-tui — the market, in your terminal

$ macro-tui

Twenty-six macro instruments on one screen — live prices, a month of daily closes, and the headlines moving them. No API key. No signup. It works the moment it starts.

$ macro-tui # recorded, at speed

macro-tui — a run through

A recording of macro-tui: the day's movers as cards, the full board of twenty-six instruments, the detail view for the Russell 2000 at one month and six months, then the news rail.

Twenty seconds, unedited — the movers, the board, a chart at both ranges, the headlines.

$ macro-tui --show board # fig. 01

macro-tui — board

macro-tui showing US indices, Treasury yields, commodities and FX with live prices, colour-coded moves and trend lines, beside a pane of market headlines.

fig. 01 — the board. Every row carries a live price, its move, and a month of daily closes.

$ macro-tui --show detail # fig. 02

macro-tui — detail

The detail view for the S&P 500: last price and move, open, high, low and previous close, a 52-week range bar, a braille line chart of the last month, and related headlines.

fig. 02 — a chart scaled to the data, not to zero, plus the headlines that mention it.

$ macro-tui --show card # fig. 03

macro-tui — share card

A share card drawn as a terminal window running macro-tui: a plain frame, a CNBC Markets kicker and the date, a bold headline about the Treasury's bond buyback, three key points, and a ticker strip for the US 10-year yield with its level, move and a month of closes as bars.

fig. 03 — c copies the story as an image, ready to paste; a copy lands in ~/Pictures/macro-tui/.

Static musl builds for x86-64 and ARM Linux, native builds for Intel and Apple silicon Macs. SHA-256 beside every archive. A Windows zip is built too, but never run on Windows — treat as untested.

Public and keyless — nothing to configure. Renders to stderr, so stdout stays free. Treat prices as indicative, not to trade against.
