About collab-public
Collaborator is a development environment designed for working with AI agents. It provides an infinite canvas where users can arrange terminals, code files, and context documents in a single workspace. The tool eliminates the need for switching between multiple windows or tabs by consolidating all elements into one interface.
The application is available as a native desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It stores all data locally and does not require user accounts. The interface consists of a navigator sidebar for file management and a main canvas area where users can position and interact with various tile types.
