The Command Center tested the whole trimmed query as one substring against one concatenated haystack, so a query only matched when its words appeared consecutively, in that order, with that spacing. Typing `shortcuts` found "Keyboard shortcuts"; typing `short key` found nothing. Survivors were then ordered by a fixed group rank, so the best match was rarely first. Route both through `scoreTextFields`, the matcher the combobox, provider selection, directory suggestions and the daemon's history search already share. It splits on whitespace, scores each token against each field on its own, and requires every token to land somewhere. `short key`, `key short`, `workspace new` and `project add` all find their row now. The score is the filter: `scoreSearchFields` returns null when a token finds no home, so filtering and ranking are one pass rather than a boolean predicate that throws the scan away. Workspaces and agents are scored too, not just filtered, with each row's own ordering kept as the tiebreak. Fields are split into visible and hidden, so a match on an agent's `cwd` — which is never rendered — cannot outrank a match on its title. Subsequence matching is deliberately off here, unlike the composer's slash-command list where it makes `/pasbab` find `/paseo-babysit`. It widens far enough that three-letter typos hit several rows each, and this list preselects its first row, so a query that should find nothing would put an unrelated action under Enter. `MatchOptions.subsequence` defaults to on, leaving every other caller unchanged. The tier has to be suppressed during scoring rather than filtered afterwards, because a two-token total of tier 5 is either 0+5 or 4+1. Sections carry a band so the ones that reorder by relevance are compared before the pinned ones, which keeps the comparator total: file rows are matched by the daemon and carry no client-side score, so they cannot be relevance-compared against rows that do. Contiguous per-token matching is a strict widening of the old test. Tokens hold no whitespace and the old haystack joined fields with a space, so any token found there lay entirely within one field and is still found. Verified across a query set at zero rows lost, and pinned by a test.
Paseo
One interface for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi agents.
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 → Pair Device.
CLI / headless
Install the CLI and start Paseo:
npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
paseo
Paseo starts locally, then asks whether to enable the end-to-end encrypted relay for device pairing. If you decline, connect directly over TCP, Tailscale, or another VPN. 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-5.5 --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.
TypeScript SDK
Build issue integrations, dashboards, and orchestration services with @getpaseo/client:
import { createPaseoClient } from "@getpaseo/client";
const client = createPaseoClient({ url: "ws://127.0.0.1:6767/ws" });
await client.connect();
const agent = await client.agents.create({
config: { provider: "codex/gpt-5.5" },
cwd: "/Users/me/dev/storefront",
prompt: "Review the current diff and name the riskiest change.",
});
const result = await agent.waitForFinish();
console.log(result.lastMessage);
await client.close();
See the SDK quickstart, recipes, and API reference.
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-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.
Development
Quick monorepo package map:
packages/server: Paseo daemon (agent process orchestration, WebSocket API, MCP server)packages/app: Expo client (iOS, Android, web)packages/cli:paseoCLI for daemon and agent workflowspackages/desktop: Electron desktop apppackages/relay: Relay transport and encryption used by the daemon and clientspackages/website: Marketing site and documentation (paseo.sh)
Common commands:
# run all local dev services
npm run dev
# run individual surfaces
npm run dev:server
npm run dev:app
npm run dev:desktop
npm run dev:website
# build the server stack
npm run build:server
