What it does

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

The spatial IDE for AI coding agents — Orchestrate Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, OpenCode, and Pi with visual wires, and a side-by-side editor to track everything.

Orchestrate Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, OpenCode, and Pi with visual wires, and a side-by-side editor to track everything. HEADS UP Your system will block the file on first run: the installer is not code-signed yet. It is expected, and you can go ahead — the reason, and the two clicks around it, are in the docs . Local-first. No account. No telemetry. Your keys, your machine. Terminals, Monaco editors, browsers and parallel git worktrees float on the same infinite canvas. Pan, zoom, drag anything anywhere — and watch every one of your agents work at once, without losing sight of a single one. Ship three experiments at once. None of them touch your working tree. The New Task button…from thecatenary.app
