Antigravity does not yet support ACP, when they do, it will be added to Paseo

We're all converging on similar interfaces, but there are differences. The main ones right now are:

- FOSS

- Local-first and self-hostable

- No telemetry or forced login

- macOS, Windows and Linux

- Available as a desktop app, web app, native mobile app and PWA

- Daemon/client architecture, run the daemon anywhere you want and connect with any client

- Support for popular agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Pi. Plus native ACP support which allows it to support most other agents

---

Paseo supports terminal multiplexing, like Cmux, but I'd consider them completely different product categories.

Working on getting usage (5h/7d) in the app, it has been a very requested feature.

This might help: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15036540-use-the-clau...

Paseo has a terminal if you want to keep using the TUI inside of it, works on mobile and desktop.

I will keep supporting the Claude Code harness in Paseo, as many users are using it via direct API usage and sometimes even with Chinese models.

I think there's still a lot to do and it feels like I'm only scratching the surface of what's possible in the local layer, so matching what Cursor does is not the end game for me.

I want to keep the core open and local-first, the business, when it comes, will be around the convenience/team/enterprise layer.

Right now I am letting real usage guide me by paying attention to what teams using Paseo need.

I don't think of the mobile side as a way to keep working on your phone on top of your full working day, although I will admit it can be used that way.

It is more about being able to step away from the desk without losing access to the work. Let's say you spend 6 hours at your desk, what if you could spend 2 of those hours walking instead?

To me, it has been valuable for steering long running agents, brainstorming ideas or triaging PRs/issues while taking a walk.

Fun fact, Paseo means "stroll" in Spanish, which is where the name came from.

Docs for this are currently missing, and I should probably package all of this in a Docker image. I'll do that today!

I'm around if anyone has questions about the project.

I personally do think it's beautiful (obviously), but I would not use that word in marketing materials, I'd rather people judge from seeing the screenshots or trying the product.

I implemented fully local hands free coding with Parakeet and Kokoro: https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo

It started last September as a push-to-talk voice interface for Claude Code. I wanted to talk to an agent while going on walks. Then I wanted to see what it was doing. Then text it when I couldn't talk. Then review diffs, run multiple agents, and manage work across machines. After a lot of iteration, it turned into a broader environment.

The basic model is:

  - A daemon runs on your machine (MacBook, desktop, VPS, etc.).
  - Clients connect to it over WebSocket.
  - There's an optional built-in E2EE relay for easy remote/mobile access.

  - It works with the first-party agent CLIs, not by calling inference APIs directly or extracting OAuth tokens.
  - It's multi-provider instead of locking you to one model.
  - It supports local voice, git worktrees, split panes, terminals, and running agents across different hosts.
  - No forced account, no telemetry, no tracking.

I use Paseo every day, but one thing I’m increasingly excited about is the CLI. It's turning into a primitive for more advanced orchestration, loops, and agent teams, which feels like a bigger direction than the app alone.

Happy to answer questions about the product, architecture, or where I think this is going.

I started working on Paseo last September as a push-to-talk voice interface for Claude Code. I wanted to bounce ideas hands-free while going on walks, after a while I wanted to see what the agent was doing, then I wanted to text it when I couldn't talk, then I wanted to see diffs and run multiple agents. I kept fixing rough edges and adding features, and slowly it became what it is today.

What it does:

- Run multiple providers through the same UI

- Works on macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android, and web

- Manage agents in different machines from the same UI

- E2EE Relay for mobile connectivity

- Local voice chat and dictation (NVIDIA Parakeet + Kokoro + Sherpa ONNX)

- Split panes to work with agents, files and terminals side by side

- Git panel to review diffs and do common actions (commit, push, create PR etc.)

- Git worktree management so agents don't step on each other

- Docker-style CLI to run agents

- No telemetry, no tracking, no login

Paseo does not call inference APIs directly or extract your OAuth tokens. It wraps your first-party agent CLIs and runs them exactly as you would in your terminal. Your sessions, your system prompts, your tools, nothing is intercepted or modified.

Stack: The daemon is written in Typescript. The app uses Expo and compiles to both native mobile apps and web. The desktop app is in Electron (I started with Tauri and had to migrate). Sharing the same codebase across different form factors was challenging but I'd say that with discipline it's doable an the result has been worth it, as most features I build automatically work in all clients. I did have to implement some platform specific stuff, especially around gestures, audio and scroll behavior. The relay is built on top of Cloudflare DO, so far it's holding up quite well.

I love using the app, but I am even more excited about the possibilities of the CLI, as it become a primitive for more advanced agent orchestration, it has much better ergonomics than existing harnesses, and I'm already using it to experiment with loops and agent teams, although it's still new territory.

How Paseo compares to similar apps: Anthropic and OpenAI already do some of what Paseo does (Claude Code Remote Control, Codex app, etc.), but with mixed quality and you're locked onto their models. Most other alternatives I know about found are either closed source or not flexible enough for my needs.

The license is AGPL-3.0. The desktop app ships with a daemon so that's all you need. But you can also `npm install -g @getpaseo/cli` for headless mode and connect via any client.

I mainly use Mac, so Linux and Windows has mostly been tested by a small group of early adopters. If you run into issues, I’d appreciate bug reports on GitHub!

I resubmitted this post because I forgot to add the URL and it didn't allow me to add it later.
