Rework docs navigation and move alternatives to top-level pages (#1487)

Browse Source 
* Rework docs navigation and move alternatives to top-level pages

- Add nested docs nav with categories, collapsible groups, breadcrumbs,
  and a right-hand page outline with heading slugs.
- Move alternatives out of /docs/alternatives into /alternatives/*
  marketing pages with 301 redirects.
- Add github-slugger for heading IDs and require explicit width on
  SiteShell so new pages can't accidentally pick the narrow prose layout.
- Remove the best-practices doc from public-docs.

* Make docs content column prose-width

# Paseo vs Claude Desktop
Claude Desktop is Anthropic's desktop app for Claude. It includes Chat, Cowork, and Claude Code in one app. Claude Code runs in the desktop app on macOS and Windows.
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](/hero-mockup.png)
## When to pick what
Pick Claude Desktop if you want Anthropic's first-party app for Claude, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code, with Anthropic-managed cloud sessions and the tightest Claude account integration.
Pick Paseo if you want:
- Linux alongside macOS and Windows
- A native iOS and Android app for the same agent workflow
- Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot, Pi, and 30+ more agents in one interface
- A self-hosted daemon you can run on a laptop, VM, or dev server
- A CLI and MCP server for scripting and multi-agent workflows
- Open source you can audit and fork
## Architecture
Paseo runs a daemon on your machine. Desktop, web, mobile, and CLI clients connect to it over a websocket. The daemon launches Claude Code and other providers as local processes, using your installed CLIs, credentials, MCP servers, skills, and project config.
Claude Desktop is the host app. The Code tab can run Claude Code locally, connect over SSH, or run remote sessions on Anthropic infrastructure.
## Providers
Claude Desktop runs Claude Code.
Paseo runs Claude Code too, plus 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).
## Desktop platforms
Claude Desktop is available on macOS and Windows. Anthropic lists Linux as not available.
Paseo ships on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
## Mobile
Paseo ships native iOS and Android apps with the same agent workflow as the desktop app.
Claude has iOS and Android apps. Claude Code can be controlled from mobile through Remote Control, and Claude Desktop can pair with mobile for some workflows.
## Panes
Both tools support visual coding workflows around Claude Code.
Paseo's app has split panes and tabs (⌘D for vertical, ⌘⇧D for horizontal). Panes include agents, terminals, a diff viewer, and a browser for testing running services.
Claude Desktop has a graphical Code tab with sessions, integrated terminal, file editor, visual diff review, live app preview, PR monitoring, and scheduled tasks.
## GitHub
Paseo's app handles commit, push, opening PRs, watching checks and reviews, and merging.
Claude Desktop can monitor pull request status and can fix failures or merge when checks pass, depending on the workflow and permissions.
## CLI and automation
Claude Code has its own CLI, IDE integrations, web surface, scheduled tasks, and cloud sessions.
Paseo's CLI controls the same daemon as the app:
```bash
paseo run --provider claude "implement OAuth"
paseo run --provider codex --worktree refactor-auth "refactor auth"
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. The MCP server lets other agents create worktrees, launch agents, open terminals, and send prompts.
## Worktrees and services
Both tools support parallel coding sessions, including 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.
## Voice
Paseo supports dictation and realtime voice mode. Speech-to-text and text-to-speech can run locally on your device.
Claude supports voice in Claude's own mobile and app surfaces. Claude Code itself is available in Claude Desktop, terminal, IDE, web, and mobile Remote Control workflows.

# Paseo vs Codex App
Codex App is OpenAI's desktop app for working with Codex threads in parallel. It runs on macOS and Windows, with local, worktree, and cloud modes.
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](/hero-mockup.png)
## When to pick what
Pick Codex App if you want OpenAI's first-party app for Codex, with Codex-specific features like cloud threads, appshots, image generation, and computer use on macOS.
Pick Paseo if you want:
- Linux alongside macOS and Windows
- A native iOS and Android app
- Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Copilot, Pi, and 30+ more agents in one interface
- A self-hosted daemon you can run on a laptop, VM, or dev server
- A CLI and MCP server for scripting and multi-agent workflows
- Open source you can audit and fork
## Architecture
Paseo runs a daemon on your machine. Desktop, web, mobile, and CLI clients connect to it over a websocket. The daemon launches Codex and other providers as local processes, using your installed CLIs and credentials.
Codex App is a desktop app for Codex. It can run local and worktree threads on your computer, and cloud threads on OpenAI-managed infrastructure.
## Providers
Codex App runs Codex.
Paseo runs Codex too, plus Claude Code, 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).
## Desktop platforms
Codex App is available on macOS and Windows. OpenAI lists Linux as not available yet.
Paseo ships on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
## Mobile
Paseo ships native iOS and Android apps with the same agent workflow as the desktop app.
Codex can be controlled remotely through OpenAI's mobile surfaces, including ChatGPT mobile remote connections. Codex App itself is a desktop app.
## Worktrees and local setup
Both tools support Git worktrees for parallel work.
Codex App creates Codex-managed worktrees under `$CODEX_HOME/worktrees` and supports local environment setup scripts and project actions through `.codex` configuration.
Paseo creates worktrees under `$PASEO_HOME/worktrees`, runs setup and teardown hooks from `paseo.json`, and gives each worktree its own dev server URLs like `web.fix-auth.my-app.localhost` so parallel services don't fight for ports.
## GitHub and review
Both tools support reviewing diffs, committing, pushing, and opening pull requests from the app.
Paseo also surfaces PR checks and reviews in the app, and exposes the same workflow through the CLI and MCP server.
## CLI and automation
Codex has its own CLI, IDE extension, web app, automations, and SDK.
Paseo's CLI controls the same daemon as the app:
```bash
paseo run --provider codex "implement OAuth"
paseo run --provider claude --worktree refactor-auth "refactor auth"
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. The MCP server lets other agents create worktrees, launch agents, open terminals, and send prompts.
## Voice

# 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).
![Paseo desktop and mobile app](/hero-mockup.png)
## 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.

title: OpenCode Desktop Alternative With Native Mobile and Multi-Provider Orchestration
description: Paseo is an OpenCode Desktop alternative for developers who want native mobile apps, a self-hosted daemon, and OpenCode alongside Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, and more.
nav: OpenCode Desktop
order: 56

# Paseo vs OpenCode Desktop
OpenCode Desktop is the desktop app for OpenCode. It is available in beta for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
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](/hero-mockup.png)
## When to pick what
Pick OpenCode Desktop if you want the OpenCode app, the OpenCode terminal workflow, and OpenCode's multi-model provider system.
Pick Paseo if you want:
- A native iOS and Android app
- OpenCode beside Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Pi, and 30+ more agents
- First-party harnesses for Claude Code and Codex instead of one agent runtime for everything
- A self-hosted daemon you can run on a laptop, VM, or dev server
- GitHub PRs, checks, reviews, and merges in the app
- A CLI and MCP server for scripting and multi-agent workflows
## Architecture
Paseo runs a daemon on your machine. Desktop, web, mobile, and CLI clients connect to it over a websocket. The daemon launches OpenCode and other providers as local processes, using your installed CLIs and credentials.
OpenCode Desktop is the desktop app for OpenCode. OpenCode is available as a terminal interface, desktop app, IDE extension, web surface, and integrations.
## Providers
OpenCode is a multi-model coding agent. It can connect to many LLM providers through its own provider system, including OpenCode Zen, local models, and API providers.
Paseo is multi-provider at the agent harness layer. It runs OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, 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).
## Desktop platforms
Both tools ship on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
## Mobile
Paseo ships native iOS and Android apps with the same agent workflow as the desktop app.
OpenCode Desktop is a desktop app. OpenCode also has web and share-link workflows, but not a native mobile app.
## Panes
Paseo's app has split panes and tabs (⌘D for vertical, ⌘⇧D for horizontal). Panes include agents, terminals, a diff viewer, and a browser for testing running services.
OpenCode is available in terminal, IDE, and desktop surfaces. Its core workflow centers on OpenCode sessions.
## GitHub
Paseo's app handles commit, push, opening PRs, watching checks and reviews, and merging.
OpenCode has GitHub and GitLab integrations, and OpenCode sessions can make and review code changes through its agent workflow.
## CLI and automation
OpenCode has its own terminal interface, CLI, IDE extension, GitHub and GitLab integrations, and share links.
Paseo's CLI controls the same daemon as the app:
```bash
paseo run --provider opencode "implement OAuth"
paseo run --provider claude --worktree refactor-auth "refactor auth"
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. The MCP server lets other agents create worktrees, launch agents, open terminals, and send prompts.
## 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.
OpenCode supports multi-session work on the same project. If you want worktree isolation around OpenCode sessions, Paseo can provide that by launching OpenCode inside Paseo workspaces.
## Privacy and source
Both tools are open source.
Paseo is AGPL-3.0 and runs your agents through a daemon you control. OpenCode is open source and says it does not store your code or context data by default. OpenCode share links are public when you create them.
## Voice
Paseo supports dictation and realtime voice mode. Speech-to-text and text-to-speech can run locally on your device.

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.
## Mobile
Paseo ships native iOS and Android apps with the same feature set as the desktop. Superset does not have a mobile app.
## Voice
Paseo's speech-to-text and text-to-speech run locally on your device. Superset does not have voice.
## Pricing
Paseo is free with no seat limits.
Superset is free for one seat with local workspaces only. Team features and sync start at $20 per seat per month.
