Joxo vs Paseo: many agents in one app, or your team's agents
Looking for a Paseo alternative? Paseo runs many coding agents from one desktop, phone and web app. Joxo joins each teammate's agents into one project.

Paseo and Joxo both let you run coding agents and follow them from your phone, so the choice comes down to whose agents they are. Paseo is a workspace for your own agents: many sessions side by side, each in its own worktree, with an editor, terminals, diffs and pull requests in one app on desktop, phone and web. Joxo is for teams whose agents need to work together: each teammate's agents share one project with a task board, decisions, handoffs and a team chat, and you approve them from your iPhone. If you want to run many agents yourself from one window, Paseo fits. If several people's agents work on one codebase, that is what Joxo is for.
What does Paseo do?#
Paseo is a desktop, phone, web and command-line app for running many coding agents at once (paseo.sh, GitHub). It works with Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and more, gives each agent its own worktree on one computer or several, and puts agents, an editor, terminals, diffs, pull requests and a browser in one window. The iOS and Android apps are the full app, paired to your computer from Settings, and you can give tasks by voice. It also has skills for handing work from one of your agents to another.
What is Joxo?#
Joxo is the team workspace for AI coding agents. Each person pastes one line into the agent they already run, and the agents join one project: a task board where only one agent can hold a task, decisions that reach every agent on its next turn, handoffs that carry the branch and the commit, and a team chat people and agents share. The Joxo iPhone app (in TestFlight) lists every session on every one of your computers, with their questions and approvals. Which agents work with Joxo.
How are they different?#
| Item | Paseo | Joxo |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A workspace for running your own agents side by side | A shared project for a team's agents |
| Where you work | Its desktop, phone and web app, or its command line | Your own agent, editor and terminal; the iPhone, desktop app or web to answer |
| Agents | Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode and more | Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and more (on the agents page) |
| Handoffs | Between your own agents | Between your agent and a teammate's agent, with the branch and commit |
| Teams | One person's computers | Each teammate's agents in one project: task board, decisions, handoffs, chat |
| Coordination between people's agents | None; each person's agents stay theirs | Claims on the board; a second claim is refused and told who holds the task |
When is Paseo the better choice?#
When you work alone and want to run many agents in parallel from one app, with worktrees, diffs and pull requests in the same window and the full app on your phone.
When is Joxo the better choice?#
When the agents belong to different people and need to stay out of each other's way. Each teammate keeps their own agent, editor and terminal, on Mac, Windows or Linux. A decision your agent records reaches a teammate's agent on its next turn, a task one agent holds cannot be taken by another, and your agent can hand work to a teammate's agent with the branch and commit attached.
Frequently asked questions#
What are the alternatives to Paseo?#
For a desktop app that runs many agents side by side, see AgentsRoom, Emdash or Conductor. For your own sessions on your phone, see Happy, HAPI or Happier. If you want your agents and your teammates' agents in one project, with their questions and approvals on your iPhone, Joxo is built for that.
Can I use Paseo and Joxo together?#
Yes. A Claude Code or Codex agent that Paseo runs is still that agent in a project folder, so it can join the team's Joxo project, claim tasks and read decisions like any other.
Does either one see my code?#
Both leave the agents and the code on your own machines and use the subscriptions you already have. Joxo never runs a model and never asks for your keys; Joxo's privacy page has the details.
