2D IDE for running agents across projects without fatigue

49Agents IDE is a 2D canvas where every agent, terminal, repo and machine you own lives on a single map that you build yourself. 49 leverages how our brains are wired to solve tab navigation fatigue problem for 10x Engineers - because of the citybuilder-like UX, it becomes effortless to associate processes to tabs, even when you come back to them days later.

The spatial layout is a neat idea but I wonder if it just moves the fatigue instead of removing it - once you've got 15+ agents running across projects, panning and zooming around a 2D map to find the one that's stuck seems like it could get tiring in its own way. Have you tested this with a genuinely large number of concurrent agents, or is the sweet spot more like 5-6 at a time?

@galdayan the fatigue, for me and our users, is usually caused not by many agents or navigation itself, but more so forgetting where to navigate and who is doing what. Canvas actually is harder to navigate (unless you are a power user who uses "Tab Tab") than tabs. But the key here is that this extra cost of navigation and placement of things ends up high ROI - you actually remember effortlessly what is where, who is doing what, etc.
would love a way to turn basically all the machine telemetry off. CPU/RAM/GPU is neat but i already have actual observability on the boxes where i care about that stuff, and my terminal manager does not need to cosplay as grafana

@abdullah_guluzada thanks for the reply! please try out our tab + h feature
just realized i can put the git diff literally adjacent to claude and leave it there
my current loop is:
claude writes shit
cmd-tab
open lazygit
inspect
cmd-tab
tell claude it hallucinated an api
cmd-tab
inspect again
i have apparently been context switching recreationally

@magsud_najafli "context switching recreationally" is exactly the disease we're trying to cure
at some point we realized half of "managing agents" was literally just finding the right terminal, checking what it broke, going back and telling it why it's stupid, repeat
The point about remembering "who's doing what" instead of just navigating is the real insight here. We run a lot of concurrent AI agents too (games instead of coding tasks), and the hard part was never seeing the terminals, it was keeping track of which agent was mid-decision versus stuck versus done. Spatial memory over tabs makes sense for that.
@alp_adur 15 terminals at once sounds like a lot
the free canvas idea makes sense though. do you still lose track of things, or has it actually fixed that for you?
