paseo

Run agents in parallel on your own machines. Ship from your phone or your desk.

• Self-hosted: Agents run on your machine with your full dev environment. Use your tools, your configs, and your skills.
• Multi-provider: Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode through the same interface. Pick the right model for each job.
• Voice control: Dictate tasks or talk through problems in voice mode. Hands-free when you need it.
• Cross-device: iOS, Android, desktop, web, and CLI. Start work at your desk, check in from your phone, script it from the terminal.
• Privacy-first: Paseo doesn't have any telemetry, tracking, or forced log-ins.

Getting Started

Paseo runs a local server called the daemon that manages your coding agents. Clients like the desktop app, mobile app, web app, and CLI connect to it.

Prerequisites

You need at least one agent CLI installed and configured with your credentials:

• Claude Code
• Codex
• OpenCode

Desktop app (recommended)

Download it from paseo.sh/download or the GitHub releases page. Open the app and the daemon starts automatically. Nothing else to install.

To connect from your phone, scan the QR code shown in Settings.

CLI / headless

Install the CLI and start Paseo:

npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
paseo

This shows a QR code in the terminal. Connect from any client. This path is useful for servers and remote machines.

For full setup and configuration, see:

• Docs
• Configuration reference

CLI

Everything you can do in the app, you can do from the terminal.

paseo run --provider claude/opus-4.6 "implement user authentication"
paseo run --provider codex/gpt-5.4 --worktree feature-x "implement feature X"

paseo ls                           # list running agents
paseo attach abc123                # stream live output
paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # follow-up task

# run on a remote daemon
paseo --host workstation.local:6767 run "run the full test suite"

See the full CLI reference for more.

Orchestration skills (Unstable)

Experimental skills that teach agents how to use the Paseo CLI to orchestrate other agents. I am updating these very frequently as I learn new things, expect changes without notice, might be coupled to my own setup, use at your own risk.

npx skills add getpaseo/paseo

Then use them in any agent conversation:

# Use handoff when you discuss something with an agent but want another one to implement.
# I use this to plan with Claude and then handoff to Codex to implement.
/paseo-handoff hand off the authentication fix to codex 5.4 in a worktree

# Use loops when you have clear acceptance criteria (aka Ralph loops).
/paseo-loop loop a codex agent to fix the backend tests, use sonnet to verify, max 10 iterations

# Orchestrator teaches the agent how to create teams and manage them via a chat room.
# Very opinionated and expects both Codex and Claude to work.
/paseo-orchestrator spin up a team to implement the database refactor, use chat to coordinate. use claude to plan and codex to implement and review

Development

Quick monorepo package map:

• packages/server: Paseo daemon (agent process orchestration, WebSocket API, MCP server)
• packages/app: Expo client (iOS, Android, web)
• packages/cli: paseo CLI for daemon and agent workflows
• packages/desktop: Electron desktop app
• packages/relay: Relay package for remote connectivity
• packages/website: Marketing site and documentation (paseo.sh)

Common commands:

# run all local dev services
npm run dev

# run individual surfaces
npm run dev:server
npm run dev:app
npm run dev:desktop
npm run dev:website

# build the daemon
npm run build:daemon

# repo-wide checks
npm run typecheck
