I'm around if anyone has questions about the project.
please keep on doing such awesome work.
I am really hoping this to be merged soon: https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/1296
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 guess the obvious question is... if its FOSS and local only, whats the business game plan? you've impressed me that you can ship, but you've basically just matched what eg devin desktop and cursor now do. what next?
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.
Antigravity does not yet support ACP, when they do, it will be added to Paseo
Again, not trying to undercut - looks like a solid agent interface, it just struck me as strange that beautiful was the adjective chosen when design seems to not be the objective here.
But for an open source project it's very nice!
(Note: none of the marketing materials for the website chose that word, at first glance. It seems to just be a descriptor given by the HN poster.)
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.
So basically an open source agentic GUI. Instead of "beautiful", it should emphasize what makes it special. Is it fast or lightweight? Does it do something other tools don't? Or does it do it better? What's it killer feature?
1. Masterful application of a trend (Stripe, Raycast)
2. Strong and recognizable personality (!boring, Notion, OG Basecamp)
Most claimed "beautiful" products result from work done without the experience & taste to tell option 1 apart from an attempt at option 1.
In reality, you can pull off a strong personality and a clumsy execution, whereas following a trend clumsily looks like failing to read the room, and leaves you looking dated almost instantly.
Of course it is open source so I hope some of the designers/people who've commented on this post can maybe contribute ideas to improve it even more. I have noticed a few places where some common actions take 1 or 2 more clicks or taps than they should - things can always be a bit more convenient and beautiful.
But overall I'm incredibly impressed and you can see some examples of the focus on simplicity and a nice UI, and follow the creator here: https://x.com/moboudra
It's like people pulling their phones out while taking a piss standing, or having to pull their phones out when the traffic lights are red in a crossing.
Just, do one thing at a time, live a life.
Shipping code from your phone, whhhyy. Mates, this isn't a flex, it's depression.
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.
If you’re open to collaborating I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned an see if we can share resources or lessons.
- If I’m on-call, it would be great to just take my iPad mini around with me instead of my heavy MacBook Pro. - Sometimes I’m on the couch with my phone and want to query an agent with access to my computer’s file system.
That's the dream, right?
And the fact that some of the coding tasks I trigger take 20 minutes means I can fire off a message, leave it, look at the code when I have a spare moment, suggest changes, and go on spending time with my kids.
Honestly it’s freaking amazing.
And I will definitely check out this project and contribute to it with what I have learned! Kudos to the developers behind it.
Working on getting usage (5h/7d) in the app, it has been a very requested feature.
Docs for this are currently missing, and I should probably package all of this in a Docker image. I'll do that today!
I've tried Conductor, Superconductor, cmux, and a half-dozen other apps that all give you a similar interface. It'd be great if there was a comparison to at least some of those on Paseo's website.
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.
The Gitea interface is already a pretty good interface that can be accessed from any browser on any device.
However, it does work nicely. OP flexed the wrong quality
I like seeing projects that focus on usability instead of adding endless features.
How long did it take to get from the first prototype to this version?
