Show HN: Paseo, an open source environment for coding agents

Hey HN, I'm Mo. I've been building Paseo, an open source environment for running Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode across desktop, mobile, web, and CLI.

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.

A few things I care about:

  - 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.

The daemon is written in TypeScript. The app uses Expo for native mobile and web, and the desktop app is Electron. I actually started with Tauri and had to migrate due to platform specific problems. The relay is built on Cloudflare Durable Objects.

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.
