OpenChamber Alternative With Linux, Windows, and Mobile Paseo ships native iOS and Android apps, runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows, and supports 30+ agents. OpenChamber is macOS only with a PWA and is built around OpenCode. OpenChamber 103

Paseo vs OpenChamber

OpenChamber is a macOS desktop app for OpenCode. Also available as a PWA. 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).

Paseo desktop and mobile app

Why pick Paseo

OpenChamber runs on macOS, around OpenCode, with a phone PWA. Paseo runs OpenCode too, on macOS, and adds:

  • Linux and Windows desktop
  • A native iOS and Android app
  • Many more agents than OpenCode (Claude Code, Codex, Pi, plus 30+ more via the in-app ACP catalog)
  • A scriptable CLI to drive agents and connect to remote daemons

Mobile

Paseo ships a native iOS and Android app with the same feature set as the desktop. Install from the App Store or Google Play.

OpenChamber does not have a native mobile app.

Desktop

Paseo ships on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

OpenChamber ships on macOS.

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, so any ACP agent works. Custom providers run any CLI agent. See Supported providers.

OpenChamber is built around OpenCode.

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:

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.

OpenChamber does not have a CLI.

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 ports.

Voice

Paseo's speech-to-text and text-to-speech run locally on your device. OpenChamber does not have voice.
