## What it is
Netcatty is an Electron-based desktop SSH client that combines terminal emulation, SFTP file browsing, and split-terminal workspace management. It includes a built-in AI agent (Catty Agent) that can run server diagnostics and orchestrate multi-host operations via natural language.

## Use cases
- manage ssh servers from a gui
- browse and transfer files over sftp
- run terminal sessions with split panes
- diagnose server issues with an ai assistant
- run commands across multiple servers at once
- organize ssh connections in a workspace

## When to choose
- you want a modern GUI alternative to plain ssh terminals
- you need SSH, SFTP, and terminal management in one app
- you want AI-assisted server diagnostics and multi-host operations
- you work across macOS, Windows, and Linux

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight CLI-only ssh tool
- you require fully scriptable headless automation
- you avoid GPL-3.0 licensed desktop apps
- you don't want an AI agent integrated into your terminal workflow
