* refactor(storage): remove chat rooms and agent loops This is the prerequisite cleanup for the storage backend migration. Legacy wire schemas remain temporarily so mixed-version peers can still parse old messages, while daemon callers now use query-shaped AgentStorage methods that can map directly to SQL later. * test(cli): remove retired chat and loop coverage

| Superset Alternative With Linux, Windows, and Mobile | Paseo is open source under an OSI license, has no login wall, ships native mobile, and runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Superset is source-available, macOS only, and gates the desktop app on a Superset login. | Superset | 51 |
Paseo vs Superset
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.
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:
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.
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.
