Choose Hako when…
Your agents already run in herdr on your Macs, and you want one native list sorted by who needs you. Open those same panes over SSH or Mosh, answer questions from the Lock Screen and continue on your Mac with Handoff.
Which one fits your work?
We make Hako. Here’s why you might choose it, and why you might choose Paseo.
Choose Paseo when…
You want to run parallel agents in separate worktrees, edit files and review diffs from the same workspace, or need Android, Windows, Linux or browser clients. Paseo also offers dictation, voice mode and plugins.
Side by side.
Compare the workflow and what it takes to get connected.
| At a glance | Hako | Paseo |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Every agent on every Mac in one native list. | An open-source development workspace for running agents, editing files and reviewing changes. |
| Client platforms | iPhone, iPad and Mac. App Store launch coming soon. | iOS and Android; desktop on macOS, Windows and Linux; web and CLI clients. |
| Working with agents | herdr panes sorted by who needs you; answer from the Lock Screen. | Manage Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi and other supported providers through the Paseo daemon. Agents can run in separate worktrees and delegate work to each other. |
| Connections | SSH and Mosh. Tailscale for the paired-Mac workflow. | Clients connect to the daemon through an optional end-to-end encrypted relay or directly, including over Tailscale. Desktop and CLI clients can also tunnel through SSH. |
| Host setup | Terminal Bridge and herdr on each Mac. iCloud Keychain for automatic pairing, or pair by QR code. | Install and authenticate your agent CLIs. The desktop app bundles and starts the daemon; headless hosts can run it through the CLI. Pair your phone with a QR code through the relay, or add a direct connection. |
| Cost | Free, with no account to make. | Free and Apache 2.0 licensed. Bring your own agent credentials and subscriptions; optional cloud speech uses your own provider credentials. |

Hako’s agent workflow needs herdr and Terminal Bridge on your Macs, with Tailscale for access from your phone. Without herdr, it’s a plain SSH and Mosh terminal for Mac and Linux. See Hako’s setup and FAQ.
