The interactive scratchpad keeps a live running tape, with history, copy, and help built in.
Install with Homebrew
$ brew tap simplemind-dev/calciq-releases
$ brew install calciq
On Homebrew 6.0 or newer you will also need to trust the tap once with brew trust simplemind-dev/calciq-releases
Two ways to use it
Run calciq on its own to open the interactive scratchpad, where every line stays on screen and builds on the last. Or pass a question inline for an instant one-shot answer, like calciq "15% tip on $48".
