* fix(desktop): stop sandboxed preload from requiring a local module
The preload imported PASEO_BROWSER_PROFILE_PARTITION from the local module
./features/browser-profile.js. The preload runs in Electron's sandbox and is
tsc-compiled (not bundled), so that import emits require("./features/
browser-profile.js") at the top of preload.js. A sandboxed preload cannot
require a local module, so the require throws before
contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld runs. window.paseoDesktop is then undefined,
the app no longer detects itself as the desktop host, and it never starts the
built-in daemon (users had to run `paseo start` by hand).
The import was added in 0.1.108; 0.1.107 is clean, which matches the reports
that downgrading fixes it. See #2103.
Inline the one value the preload needs (the partition string) so it no longer
loads any local module, and keep browser-profile.ts as the source of truth for
the main process. Add preload-sandbox.test.ts, which parses preload.ts with the
TypeScript compiler API and asserts the only runtime module load is "electron"
(covering value imports, side-effect imports, re-exports, require, dynamic
import, and import-equals; type-only imports are ignored), plus a drift check
that the inlined literal matches the canonical constant.

* test(desktop): clearer preload drift-check failure message
Assert the inlined PASEO_BROWSER_PROFILE_PARTITION is present before comparing its value, so a missing/renamed constant reports "not found" instead of a misleading value-drift mismatch (Greptile feedback on #2111).

Paseo
One interface for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi agents.
Note
I'm a solo maintainer and don't always keep up with GitHub Issues daily. If something is urgent or blocking you, Discord is the fastest place to reach me.
Run agents in parallel on your own machines. Ship from your phone or your desk.
- Self-hosted: Agents run on your machine with your full dev environment. Use your tools, your configs, and your skills.
- Multi-provider: Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi through the same interface. Pick the right model for each job.
- Voice control: Dictate tasks or talk through problems in voice mode. Hands-free when you need it.
- Cross-device: iOS, Android, desktop, web, and CLI. Start work at your desk, check in from your phone, script it from the terminal.
- Privacy-first: Paseo doesn't have any telemetry, tracking, or forced log-ins.
Getting Started
Paseo runs a local server called the daemon that manages your coding agents. Clients like the desktop app, mobile app, web app, and CLI connect to it.
Prerequisites
You need at least one agent CLI installed and configured with your credentials:
Desktop app (recommended)
Download it from paseo.sh/download or the GitHub releases page. Open the app and the daemon starts automatically. Nothing else to install.
To connect from your phone, open Settings → your host → Connections → Pair a device.
CLI / headless
Install the CLI and start Paseo:
npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
paseo
This shows a QR code in the terminal. Connect from any client. This path is useful for servers and remote machines.
For full setup and configuration, see:
Docker
Run the Paseo daemon and self-hosted web UI in Docker:
docker run -d --name paseo \
-p 6767:6767 \
-e PASEO_PASSWORD=change-me \
-v "$PWD/paseo-home:/home/paseo" \
-v "$PWD:/workspace" \
ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
Open http://localhost:6767 after it starts. Extend the base image with the agent CLIs you use, then provide credentials through environment variables or the persistent /home/paseo volume. See the Docker documentation for full setup details.
CLI
Everything you can do in the app, you can do from the terminal.
paseo run --provider claude/opus-4.6 "implement user authentication"
paseo run --provider codex/gpt-5.4 --worktree feature-x "implement feature X"
paseo ls # list running agents
paseo attach abc123 # stream live output
paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # follow-up task
# run on a remote daemon
paseo --host workstation.local:6767 run "run the full test suite"
See the full CLI reference for more.
Skills
Skills teach your agent to use Paseo to orchestrate other agents.
npx skills add getpaseo/paseo
Then use them in any agent conversation:
/paseo-handoff— hand off work between agents. I use this to plan with Claude and then handoff to Codex to implement./paseo-loop— loop an agent against clear acceptance criteria (aka Ralph loops), optionally with a verifier./paseo-advisor— spin up a single agent as an advisor for a second opinion, without delegating the work itself./paseo-committee— form a committee of two contrasting agents to step back, do root cause analysis, and produce a plan.
