Best Paseo Alternative

Paseo alternatives come up when you want a fully native macOS IDE instead of a client-and-daemon system, prefer real GPU-accelerated terminal sessions, or need built-in editing, container isolation, issue tracking, and Mac-local browser automation.

What to look for in a Paseo alternative

  • Cross-platform and mobile access versus a deeply native macOS workspace
  • Provider-native chat UI versus the agent's real terminal interface
  • Built-in editor, browser automation, diff, and code review
  • Self-hosted daemons versus managed cloud sandboxes and remote SSH
  • Open-source licensing and the integrations you need around the agent

Recommended options

Agentastic

Our pick

Native macOS workspace with 40 built-in agent definitions for parallel git worktrees. Built-in editor, browser, diff viewer, and code review.

Conductor

Chat-first macOS app for running Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor in parallel worktrees.

Superset

Source-available macOS workspace for running any CLI agent in parallel terminal panes and git worktrees.

cmux

Open-source TUI for running multiple AI coding agents tmux-style.

How to switch from Paseo cleanly

Paseo and Agentastic both run official provider CLIs, so your agent accounts and repository remain portable. Install Agentastic on the Mac that hosts your code, open the repository, and its known CLIs are discovered automatically. You trade Paseo's mobile and cross-platform clients for a native Mac editor, Ghostty terminal, containers, and deeper local tooling.

Common questions

What is the best Paseo alternative for macOS?

Agentastic is the closest fit when you want parallel worktrees in a fully native macOS IDE. Conductor is the chat-first option, while Superset is the terminal-pane option.

Does Agentastic have a CLI like Paseo?

Yes. The system-wide dev CLI can launch agents, list worktrees, tail output, send follow-ups, focus workspaces, and control browser or scheduled-task workflows in a running Agentastic instance.

Does Agentastic have mobile apps?

No. Paseo is the stronger choice when native iOS or Android access is essential. Agentastic focuses on a deeply integrated macOS development environment and supports remote agents over SSH or cloud sandboxes.
