Description

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.Repo: https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo Homepage: https://paseo.sh/ Discord: https://discord.gg/jz8T2uahpHHappy to answer questions about the product, architecture, or where I think this is going.

Could you build this?

Partial While an agent runner UI across web/desktop is straightforward to prototype, managing bi-directional streaming, terminal emulation, and multi-agent execution sync across desktop/mobile/web requires non-trivial real-time systems engineering.

What it would actually take: The architecture typically pairs a local daemon (Go or Rust) communicating over WebSockets/gRPC with cross-platform frontends (Tauri or React Native). The hard part is managing headless CLI sessions (pty management, process isolation, environment variable forwarding) and handling bidirectional push-to-talk voice streaming with low latency while agents concurrently edit code.
