RACE is a macOS terminal multiplexer that replaces the grid-based tiling of tmux or iTerm2 with a pan-and-zoom canvas model. Instead of terminals fighting for fixed screen real estate, you place each at its own coordinates and zoom in/out to navigate your workspace. Shells persist in detached PTY processes across restarts. The core pitch is spatial memory—your brain retains *where* you put things better than searching through tabs. It's €29.90 after a free trial (5 terminals, 3 canvases), runs on up to three personal Macs, and stays functional indefinitely even after the yearly update window ends. The source also notes MCP server integration (33 tools for agents to control the canvas), though toggled off by default. The trade-off worth testing: does infinite canvas actually reduce cognitive load, or does it just shift the problem from "which pane?" to "where on this 10,000×10,000 pixel surface did I put it?" The source doesn't include user testimonials or workflow examples beyond the architectural claim.
