Paseo is a self-hosted daemon and set of native apps for running and controlling AI coding agents (such as Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, Cursor, and Pi) on your own machine. Agents run locally with your full dev environment while you monitor and drive them from phone, desktop, web, or CLI. It provides a WebSocket API, an MCP server, git worktree isolation, scheduling, browser automation, and an end-to-end encrypted relay for remote access without exposing your machine.

Pricing
Paseo is stated to be free and open source with no paid plans. Voice features are local-first by default but can optionally use paid OpenAI speech providers if configured by the user.
Paseo itself is free and open source; users must bring their own agent provider credentials/subscriptions (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Pi).
