Following a change beyond the editor
Coldtea is useful when finishing a feature involves an agent terminal, a preview URL, an issue tracker, and monitoring dashboards. Its task workspace keeps these activities connected. The coding work still depends on the agent you choose and the project you supply.
For a first evaluation, use a small change with a visible result: correcting a form validation message is easier to assess than asking for a complete redesign.
Try one task from issue to visual check
- Use the official installation guide to install the macOS build and open a repository.
- Connect an already configured coding agent and create a task with a clear acceptance condition.
- Review the proposed changes in that task's worktree, then run the project's checks.
- Open the preview and verify both the intended state and a failure state before accepting the change.
Decide whether the workspace fits
Try the same task in your current editor and compare the number of context switches. Coldtea's value is strongest when QA and follow-up matter alongside writing code. Cloud background execution is optional; review the selected agent's data handling before treating a local project as entirely offline.
Model support & data privacy
Privacy & data handling
Local work remains local until optional cloud execution is enabled. Connected agents and model providers have their own data policies.
