Catenary

Freemium

Local-first spatial IDE that orchestrates Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other coding agents on an infinite canvas with visual context wires.

Infinite Canvas: Terminals, Monaco editors, browsers, and git worktrees float on one pannable, zoomable surface so every agent stays visible at once.
Context Wires: Drag a directed wire between panels to pass context to another agent, set to relay automatically or act as a standing permission.
One-Click Worktrees: The New Task button creates an isolated branch, working directory, and agent, colour-coded across sidebar, dock, and canvas.
Monaco Diffs: VS Code's editor inside the canvas with git-aware file tree and side-by-side diffs of everything an agent touched.
Maestro Mode: One agent recruits, briefs, and wires a team of up to ten helpers, with an editable approval card before every action.
Multi-Project Parallelism: Run several projects at once, each with its own canvas and multiple isolated branches, with state preserved on switch.
Local-First Privacy: No account, no telemetry, and zero bytes of source code, prompts, or keys sent anywhere; only two outbound hosts total.
Bring Your Own Keys: Agent CLIs talk directly to Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google with your own keys, or to Ollama and LM Studio on localhost.

A developer runs three coding agents on separate branches simultaneously and watches all of them without losing track of any.
An engineer delegates a specific subtask from one agent to another by dragging a wire instead of copy-pasting context between windows.
A team working under strict data policies needs an agent IDE that provably never uploads source code.
A solo builder ships several experiments in parallel isolated worktrees without polluting the main working tree.
A reviewer wants side-by-side diffs of agent-authored changes before deciding what to keep.
A user orchestrates a self-organizing squad of agents while keeping human approval on every structural change.

An EU-hosted AI notetaker that records in-person and online meetings and returns speaker-named transcripts, summaries and action items.

Three Capture Paths: Record in the room from iOS, Android or the browser, upload MP3/M4A/WAV/MP4/MOV files, or send a bot into a Zoom, Meet, Teams or Webex call.
Calendar Auto-Recording: Connect Google or Outlook calendars and scheduled online meetings are joined and recorded without anyone pressing a button.
Speaker-Named Transcripts: Transcribes 100+ languages with automatic detection and separates speakers by name, with timestamps on every line.
Decision Tracking: Proposes the decisions a meeting contained along with the reasoning and the options that were rejected; confirmed decisions are linked from later meetings so settled calls are not re-argued.
Action Item Extraction: Pulls out commitments with an owner and a due date rather than leaving them buried in the transcript.
Company Memory Search: Meetings sort themselves into projects, and one search covers transcripts, summaries and decisions with results linking to the exact second.
MCP Access for AI Assistants: A read-only MCP server lets Claude and ChatGPT answer questions about who owns what or what changed, limited to meetings the asker could already open.
EU Data Residency: Recordings and derived data stay in EU data centres under GDPR, are never used for training, and can be deleted on request.

Client Consulting: Keep an accurate billable record of client sessions without taking notes during the conversation.
Legal and Compliance: Document every commitment made in a negotiation or board meeting, with the decision and its reasoning attached.
Sales Follow-Up: Send a shareable summary and action items within minutes of a call so follow-up matches what was actually agreed.
Multilingual Teams: Transcribe Baltic, Scandinavian and other smaller European languages that mainstream notetakers handle poorly, and pick the summary language separately.
Research Interviews: Transcribe field interviews or site visits recorded on a phone and search the archive later for a specific quote.
Assistant-Driven Recall: Ask Claude or ChatGPT over MCP what a project decided last month instead of scrolling through meeting notes.
