Details

Indie developer Giorgio Nícolas has released Catenary, a spatial canvas IDE optimized for AI coding agent workflows. It introduces the concept of a 2D infinite canvas to address the inefficiencies of traditional terminal tab management.

Key features include:

  • Visual Cables: Visually connect agent terminals to pass context, allowing you to compose multi-model squads combining reasoning models, test runners, and more.
  • Task Islands: Create isolated visual workspaces with a single click to perform parallel tasks while maintaining your existing workflow.
  • All-in-One: Provides a WebGL-based native PTY terminal, Monaco editor, and local browser preview in a single screen.

In terms of security and deployment, it adopts a 100% Local-First architecture with no telemetry, ensuring that code and API keys never leave the device. It is available for free download on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux.
