## What it is
Cate is an infinite zoomable canvas IDE that hosts terminals, editors, and browser panels in a spatial workspace. It is designed for running parallel coding agents like Claude Code or Codex, with agent-aware terminals, notifications, and one-click git worktrees for separate workstreams.

## Use cases
- run multiple coding agents in parallel on one screen
- manage git worktrees for parallel branches visually
- monitor which agent terminals are waiting for input
- organize terminal, editor, and browser panels on an infinite canvas
- keep agent sessions alive across app restarts
- replace tab-based terminal workflows with a spatial workspace

## When to choose
- you juggle several AI coding agents at once and lose track of tabs
- you want git worktree management built into your workspace
- you prefer a spatial canvas over a traditional windowed IDE
- you want agent status and notifications at a glance

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight terminal emulator without canvas overhead
- you rely on deep IDE features like full refactoring or debugging
- you only run a single agent or plain shell occasionally
- you need a fully stable, long-established tool
