Add comparison pages under /docs/alternatives
Group the docs sidebar by directory so the new pages cluster under a heading, add a hamburger menu for the mobile docs nav, and let the docs main column shrink so wide code blocks and tables scroll inside instead of pushing the page wide.

# Paseo vs Conductor
|
||||
|
||||
Conductor is a macOS app for running Claude Code and Codex in parallel git worktrees. Closed source.
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo is an app for orchestrating coding agents, with native clients on desktop, mobile, web, and the CLI. Open source (AGPL-3.0).
|
||||
|
||||
## Why pick Paseo
|
||||
|
||||
Conductor runs on macOS, with Claude Code and Codex, in parallel git worktrees. Paseo does all of that. Pick Paseo if you want:
|
||||
|
||||
- Linux or Windows alongside macOS
|
||||
- A native iOS and Android app
|
||||
- Many more agents than Claude Code and Codex
|
||||
- A CLI to script agent work and drive remote daemons
|
||||
- A self-hosted daemon you can run on a server, VM, or homelab
|
||||
- Open source you can audit and fork
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
The Paseo daemon runs as its own process. Desktop, web, mobile, and CLI all connect to it over a websocket. Run the daemon on your laptop, on a VM, in Docker, or across a fleet, and connect to any of them from any client.
|
||||
|
||||
Conductor's desktop app is the host. Agents run inside it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Providers
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo runs Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Pi natively, plus 30+ more agents through the in-app catalog including GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Amp. Paseo speaks the [Agent Client Protocol](https://agentclientprotocol.com), so any ACP agent works. Custom providers run any CLI agent. See [Supported providers](/docs/supported-providers).
|
||||
|
||||
Conductor runs Claude Code and Codex.
|
||||
|
||||
Both tools launch the official CLIs as subprocesses with your own credentials. Neither extracts tokens or proxies model calls.
|
||||
|
||||
## Panes
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo's app has split panes and tabs (⌘D for vertical, ⌘⇧D for horizontal). Panes include a terminal alongside your agents, a diff viewer, and a browser for testing running services.
|
||||
|
||||
## GitHub
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo's app handles commit, push, opening PRs, watching checks and reviews, and merging.
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo has a CLI that mirrors the app:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
paseo run --provider codex "implement OAuth"
|
||||
paseo run --host devbox:6767 "run the test suite"
|
||||
paseo ls
|
||||
paseo send <agent-id> "add tests"
|
||||
paseo schedule create --cron "0 9 * * 1" "audit the codebase"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`paseo run --host` connects to a remote daemon. `paseo schedule` runs an agent on a cron. `paseo loop` retries an agent until a verification command passes.
|
||||
|
||||
Conductor does not have a CLI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Worktrees and services
|
||||
|
||||
Both tools isolate parallel agents in git worktrees.
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo also gives each worktree its own dev server URL. Two agents running their dev servers at the same time get `web.fix-auth.my-app.localhost` and `web.add-search.my-app.localhost` instead of port collisions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Mobile
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo ships native iOS and Android apps with the same feature set as the desktop app. Conductor has no mobile app.
|
||||
|
||||
## Voice
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo's speech-to-text and text-to-speech run locally on your device. Nothing leaves your network. Conductor does not have voice.
|
||||

||||

# Paseo vs Happy Coder
|
||||
|
||||
Happy Coder is a mobile and web client for Claude Code and Codex. It wraps the agent CLI on your laptop and syncs sessions to phone and browser over an end-to-end encrypted relay. Open source under MIT.
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo is an app for orchestrating coding agents, with native clients on desktop, mobile, web, and the CLI. Open source (AGPL-3.0).
|
||||
|
||||
## When to pick what
|
||||
|
||||
Pick Happy Coder if you want the most minimal setup. Wrap an existing Claude Code or Codex session on your laptop and check in on it from your phone.
|
||||
|
||||
Pick Paseo if you want:
|
||||
|
||||
- A native desktop app on macOS, Linux, and Windows
|
||||
- Git worktrees for parallel agents
|
||||
- Per-worktree dev server URLs
|
||||
- GitHub PRs, checks, reviews, and merges in the app
|
||||
- Many more agents than Claude Code and Codex
|
||||
- A CLI to script agent work and drive remote daemons
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo runs the agent inside its own daemon. The daemon owns the agent lifecycle, the worktree, and the dev servers. Clients connect over a websocket and drive the daemon.
|
||||
|
||||
Happy Coder runs the agent inside its existing CLI on your laptop and syncs the session to its mobile and web clients through an end-to-end encrypted relay.
|
||||
|
||||
## Panes
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo's app has split panes and tabs (⌘D for vertical, ⌘⇧D for horizontal). Panes include a terminal alongside your agents, a diff viewer, and a browser for testing running services.
|
||||
|
||||
Happy Coder does not have a desktop app.
|
||||
|
||||
## GitHub
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo's app handles commit, push, opening PRs, watching checks and reviews, and merging.
|
||||
|
||||
## Mobile
|
||||
|
||||
Both tools ship native iOS and Android apps.
|
||||
|
||||
## Providers
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo runs Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Pi natively, plus 30+ more agents through the in-app catalog including GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Amp. Paseo speaks the [Agent Client Protocol](https://agentclientprotocol.com), so any ACP agent works. Custom providers run any CLI agent. See [Supported providers](/docs/supported-providers).
|
||||
|
||||
Happy Coder runs Claude Code and Codex.
|
||||
|
||||
## Worktrees and services
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo runs each agent in its own git worktree. Each worktree gets its own dev server URL like `web.fix-auth.my-app.localhost`, so parallel agents don't fight for the same port.
|
||||
|
||||
Happy Coder runs the agent in the directory you launched the CLI from.
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo has a CLI that mirrors the app:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
paseo run --provider codex "implement OAuth"
|
||||
paseo run --host devbox:6767 "run the test suite"
|
||||
paseo ls
|
||||
paseo send <agent-id> "add tests"
|
||||
paseo schedule create --cron "0 9 * * 1" "audit the codebase"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`paseo run --host` connects to a remote daemon. `paseo schedule` runs an agent on a cron. `paseo loop` retries an agent until a verification command passes.
|
||||
|
||||
Happy Coder has a CLI to launch the wrapped session. It does not have schedules or loops.
|
||||
|
||||
## Voice
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo's speech-to-text and text-to-speech run locally on your device. Nothing leaves your network.

# Paseo vs Superset
|
||||
|
||||
Superset is a macOS desktop app for running CLI coding agents in parallel git worktrees. Source-available under the Elastic License 2.0.
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo is an app for orchestrating coding agents, with native clients on desktop, mobile, web, and the CLI. Open source (AGPL-3.0).
|
||||
|
||||
## When to pick what
|
||||
|
||||
Pick Superset if you prefer a terminal-first interface where agents live inside terminal panes.
|
||||
|
||||
Pick Paseo if you want:
|
||||
|
||||
- An OSI-approved open source license (AGPL-3.0)
|
||||
- Linux or Windows
|
||||
- A native mobile app
|
||||
- No login wall
|
||||
- A per-agent UI with modes, slash commands, and file pickers
|
||||
- Free without seat limits
|
||||
|
||||
## License
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo is open source under AGPL-3.0. Audit it, fork it, redistribute it.
|
||||
|
||||
Superset is source-available under the Elastic License 2.0. The source is on GitHub, but the license restricts hosting it as a service and limits redistribution.
|
||||
|
||||
## Login
|
||||
|
||||
Superset's desktop app shows a Superset login wall on first launch. A Superset account is required to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo does not require any login.
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
The Paseo daemon runs as its own process. Desktop, web, mobile, and CLI clients connect to it. Run the daemon on your laptop, on a server, or in Docker, and connect from anywhere.
|
||||
|
||||
Superset's desktop is the host. Agents run inside it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Providers
|
||||
|
||||
Both tools support many agents. Superset is a terminal multiplexer where each agent runs inside a terminal pane. Paseo runs Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Pi natively with a per-agent UI (modes, slash commands, file picker, diff viewer), plus 30+ more agents through the in-app catalog via ACP, plus any custom CLI agent. See [Supported providers](/docs/supported-providers).
|
||||
|
||||
## Panes
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo's app has split panes and tabs. Panes include a diff viewer and a browser for testing running services. Agents render as native UI with modes, slash commands, and file pickers.
|
||||
|
||||
In Superset, each agent runs inside a terminal pane.
|
||||
|
||||
## GitHub
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo's app handles commit, push, opening PRs, watching checks and reviews, and merging.
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo has a CLI that mirrors the app:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
paseo run --provider codex "implement OAuth"
|
||||
paseo run --host devbox:6767 "run the test suite"
|
||||
paseo ls
|
||||
paseo send <agent-id> "add tests"
|
||||
paseo schedule create --cron "0 9 * * 1" "audit the codebase"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`paseo run --host` connects to a remote daemon. `paseo schedule` runs an agent on a cron. `paseo loop` retries an agent until a verification command passes.
|
||||
|
||||
Superset is a desktop app and does not have a CLI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Worktrees and services
|
||||
|
||||
Both tools isolate parallel agents in git worktrees.
|
||||
|
||||
Paseo also gives each worktree its own dev server URL like `web.fix-auth.my-app.localhost`, so parallel agents don't fight for ports.
|
||||
|
||||
