What is this?
Paseo is an open-source hub for orchestrating coding agents: one interface to run Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi in parallel on your own machines, controlled from your desk or your phone.

There's also a TypeScript SDK for building custom integrations.

From there you can pair other devices.

Paseo orchestrates them but ships no models of its own.

You add them with paseo plugin add from a local directory or Git repository.

Pair a phone from the desktop app via Settings → your host → Pair Device; the CLI path offers an end-to-end encrypted relay for pairing, or you connect directly over TCP, Tailscale, or another VPN.

The CLI/headless mode is built for servers and remote machines, and a Docker image runs the daemon plus a self-hosted web UI — extend the image with the agent CLIs you use and pass credentials via environment variables or the /home/paseo volume.

The optional relay is end-to-end encrypted, and you can skip it entirely for direct connections.
