What it does

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.

Every terminal, repo and agent you run lives on one infinite, zoomable plane. Panes glow blue while Claude is working and pulse vermillion the moment it needs your permission. Connect the machines you own and open terminals on them directly from the canvas, with a live CPU and RAM HUD for each one. Please check how to install and setup 49agents IDE on this machine - grab the repo from github, set it all up, download dependencies, and give me localhost link. Make sure it works. Copy prompt Set it up manually: git clone https://github.com/49Agents/49Agents.git && cd 49Agents ./49ctl setup ./49ctl start Copy commands Opens http://localhost:1071 . No account, no login, no token. Requires Node…from 49agents.com

    Beads tables (Steve Yegge's) for issue tracking. Can view git trees, terminals, issue tables, notes, and files all on one screen. Can connect multiple machines via private network (like tailscale) I had this issue where i really did not like the when i had many terminals open at the same time - when you try to code with 6+ agents at the same time, across, say, 3 projects, you get huge context fragmentation. I am a visual person, and its way easier for me to remember where things are if I placed them there - I build this 2D canvas for myself initially and then decided to open-source - the…
