Paseo, an open source environment for coding agents
Hey HN, I'm Mo. I've been building Paseo, an open source environment for running Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode across desktop, mobile, web, and CLI. It started last September as a push-to-talk voice interface for Claude Code. I wanted to talk to an agent while going on walks. Then I wanted to see what it was doing. Then text it when I couldn't talk. Then review diffs, run multiple agents, and manage work across machines. After a lot of iteration, it turned into a broader environment. The basic model is: - A daemon runs on your machine (MacBook, desktop, VPS, etc.). - Clients connect to it…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN, I'm Mo. I've been building Paseo, an open source environment for running Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode across desktop, mobile, web, and CLI. It started last September as a push-to-talk voice interface for Claude Code. I wanted to talk to an agent while going on walks. Then I wanted to see what it was doing. Then text it when I couldn't talk. Then review diffs, run multiple agents, and manage work across machines. After a lot of iteration, it turned into a broader environment. The basic model is: - A daemon runs on your machine (MacBook, desktop, VPS, etc.). - Clients connect to it over WebSocket. - There's an optional built-in E2EE relay for easy remote/mobile access. A few things I care about: - It works with the first-party agent CLIs, not by calling inference APIs directly or extracting OAuth tokens. - It's multi-provider instead of locking you to one model. - It supports local voice, git worktrees, split panes, terminals, and running agents across different hosts. - No forced account, no telemetry, no tracking. The daemon is written in TypeScript. The app uses Expo for native mobile and web, and the desktop app is Electron. I actually started with Tauri and had to migrate due to platform specific problems. The relay is built on Cloudflare Durable Objects. I use Paseo every day, but one thing I’m increasingly excited about is the CLI. It's turning into a primitive for more advanced orchestration, loops, and agent teams, which feels like a bigger direction than the app alone.

Hey HN, I'm Mo. I'm building Paseo, a multi-platform interface for running Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. The daemon runs on any machine (your Macbook, a VPS, whatever) and clients (web, mobile, desktop, CLI) connect over WebSocket (there's a built-in E2EE relay for convenience, but you can opt-out). I started working on Paseo last September as a push-to-talk voice interface for Claude Code. I wanted to bounce ideas hands-free while going on walks, after a while I wanted to see what the agent was doing, then I wanted to text it when I couldn't talk, then I wanted to see diffs and run…

Hey HN, I built Paseo because i kept SSHing into tmux from my phone to check on agents while on walks, it worked but the UX was rough. I started building a voice-only app for agents but after dogfooding and iterating for months I ended up with this. Both Anthropic and OpenAI are working on versions of this but I didn't like them and I didn't want to be locked into their respective models. Paseo takes a different approach: a daemon runs on your machine and you connect to it from any device. your code never leaves your machine. - Works with Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode, just launches their…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
