For folks are looking for an open source alternative that respects your privacy, see Paseo (disclaimer: I am the maintainer)

i had to uninstall it due to the vm taking around 12G of disk, never touched Cowork. didn't realize they were also launching it

Thank you!

You can already use Gemini CLI with the ACP adapter, go to the provider settings to enable it.

Antigravity does not yet support ACP, when they do, it will be added to Paseo

thanks!

Maintainer here. Great points! Paseo already supports embedding images in the chat, but no MDX or chart rendering yet. I have been meaning to add Mermaid support but haven't got around to it yet.

Maintainer here. From the ones you listed, I only have a comparison page to Conductor (see others in the menu): https://paseo.sh/docs/alternatives/conductor

We're all converging on similar interfaces, but there are differences. The main ones right now are:

- FOSS

- Local-first and self-hostable

- No telemetry or forced login

- macOS, Windows and Linux

- Available as a desktop app, web app, native mobile app and PWA

- Daemon/client architecture, run the daemon anywhere you want and connect with any client

- Support for popular agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Pi. Plus native ACP support which allows it to support most other agents

Paseo supports terminal multiplexing, like Cmux, but I'd consider them completely different product categories.

Cost and token usage is surfaced per session in the context meter, no per-project summary though.

Working on getting usage (5h/7d) in the app, it has been a very requested feature.

Claude Code (via the subscription) will continue working under Paseo but it will consume a different pool of credits, which depending on your sub you get different amounts. Practically speaking you will be able to use only a fraction of your usage in Paseo, this applies to any programmatic usage of Claude Code.

This might help: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15036540-use-the-clau...

Paseo has a terminal if you want to keep using the TUI inside of it, works on mobile and desktop.

I will keep supporting the Claude Code harness in Paseo, as many users are using it via direct API usage and sometimes even with Chinese models.

Thanks. Yes, team of one right now.

I think there's still a lot to do and it feels like I'm only scratching the surface of what's possible in the local layer, so matching what Cursor does is not the end game for me.

I want to keep the core open and local-first, the business, when it comes, will be around the convenience/team/enterprise layer.

Right now I am letting real usage guide me by paying attention to what teams using Paseo need.

Maintainer here. I get the concern, but that has not been my experience.

I don't think of the mobile side as a way to keep working on your phone on top of your full working day, although I will admit it can be used that way.

It is more about being able to step away from the desk without losing access to the work. Let's say you spend 6 hours at your desk, what if you could spend 2 of those hours walking instead?

To me, it has been valuable for steering long running agents, brainstorming ideas or triaging PRs/issues while taking a walk.

Fun fact, Paseo means "stroll" in Spanish, which is where the name came from.

Maintainer here. Yes, the web app is a static Expo export, so the simplest self-host path is to build packages/app and serve the generated dist/ with any static HTTP server. The daemon itself is published to npm as `@getpaseo/cli`.

Docs for this are currently missing, and I should probably package all of this in a Docker image. I'll do that today!

I'm the maintainer of Paseo. I didn't submit this, so it was a nice surprise to see it on HN!

I'm around if anyone has questions about the project.

I'm the maintainer of Paseo. This is correct, I do not use the word beautiful anywhere.

I personally do think it's beautiful (obviously), but I would not use that word in marketing materials, I'd rather people judge from seeing the screenshots or trying the product.

Interesting, I'm surprised you went with Whisper, I found Parakeet (v2) to be a lot more accurate and faster, but maybe it's just my accent.

I implemented fully local hands free coding with Parakeet and Kokoro: https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo

I resubmitted because I forgot to add the URL to Github in the post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47530027

Thank you! Yes, there seem to be new ones popping up almost every week.

I have been working on this quietly for a while, I'm just ramping up on marketing now.
