Catenary - Spatial canvas IDE for AI coding agents

Catenary is a spatial IDE and terminal orchestrator that reimagines coding with AI agents. Instead of drowning in terminal tabs: • Visual Cables: Wire agents to pass context & run multi-model squads • New Task Islands: Spin up isolated visual workspaces in 1 click • All-in-One: Monaco editor, native PTY terminals & browser previews • 100% Local-First: Zero telemetry, fully offline & private Free for macOS, Windows & Linux: thecatenary.app

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Giorgio, creator of Catenary. Over the past few months, AI coding agents (like Claude Code and terminal-based agents) completely changed how I build software. But our interfaces didn't keep up: we're still trying to juggle dozens of overlapping terminal windows and narrow chat sidebars, constantly losing our mental map. I asked myself: What if our IDE was built for the way developers actually work today? That’s why I built Catenary — an infinite 2D spatial IDE and terminal orchestrator designed from the ground up for modern AI-native developer workflows: • Visual Cables: Physically wire agent terminals together to pipe context, delegate tasks, and build multi-model squads (e.g. heavy reasoning models chained to fast test runners). • New Task Islands: Spin up isolated visual workspaces in 1 click without losing your previous flow. • All-in-One Canvas: Native PTY terminals (WebGL xterm.js), Monaco editor, and local browser webviews side-by-side. • 100% Local-First & Private: Runs on your machine, zero telemetry, and your code and API keys never leave your device. The app is completely free to download for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows, and Linux at . Built this as an indie developer and poured a lot of love into the details. I'd love to hear your feedback, answer any questions, and hear what you think of spatial computing for coding! 🚀

 Infinite canvas for coding sounds wild, nice shoot
