# Paseo

70 Hacker News commenters recommended Paseo and 10 criticized it, November 2025 to November 2026. It was recommended in 9 of 13 months; owners who said how long report a median of 0.06 years (6 owners). It meets the Hacker Approved badge rule.

**Verdict:** Open-source interface for running coding agents like Claude Code and OpenCode from desktop, mobile or CLI, with strong remote access. Critics say sub-agents hang and performance lags.

## Why people recommend it

- Strong mobile app and remote access (6 comments): "Cool project. I don't think people will get the mobile version until they need it but when they do it's a mind bending, life changing realization." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48380697)) "The biggest thing is that Paseo's mobile app is out and pretty much has feature parity with its desktop app." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49260865)) "It has a lot of features but you'll find its mobile client is much better than opencode's web view." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48718059))
- Open source and well executed (6 comments): "Very nice! an open-sourced alternative of Codex Remote Control, allowing full customization" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48380525)) "I am fully impressed by the diligence and quality of some of the open source tooling" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48648399)) "I like seeing projects that focus on usability instead of adding endless features." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48395855))
- Higher agent autonomy and throughput (5 comments): "For me, what I have found most useful about Paseo is the multi-platform, multi-agent setup because this has given my agent teams much, much more autonomy that I feel like I can trust" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50315386)) "This has worked fantastically for me, really awesome to see a self-constructed team own the work end-to-end." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50172724)) "the win in my use case is that it feels like I can get higher autonomy without sacrificing quality" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50324771))
- Unified interface for multiple harnesses (4 comments): "Paseo has been the most feature complete one with claude and open code support with a top notch mobile experience." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49246726)) "this lets you view Claude Code, OpenCode and I guess other harnesses like Codex in the same session" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49403061)) "having a unified interface while still being able to use their respective harnesses is a godsend" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49239039))

## What people warn about

- Sub-agent hangs and bugs (4 comments): "Paseo had a really nice UI/UX, except sometimes sub-agents within OpenCode sessions would hang." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49299599)) "both Paseo and Kepler felt a little bit clunky especially around sub-agents and workflows" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49285237)) "it has some issues with OpenCode sub-agent liveness checks (I've seen them hang" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49407109))
- Slow performance and memory issues (4 comments): "its not optimized at all. let alone the feature bloat." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49608002)) ""reconnection" and state sync is pretty slow" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49901613)) "Paseo's perf leaves a lot to be desired." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49892817))
- Less polished or featureful than rivals (2 comments): "Paseo is great and has mobile notifications but it’s not as polished as omp web." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49926526)) "Paseo doesn't offer as many features" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50099847))
- Claude session resume and CLI issues (2 comments): "with Paseo I can't seems to resume a Claude code session" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49984141)) "I am still handicapped by the CLI when running in Paseo." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50256647))
