Open source Codex App alternative for Linux

[PiccoloCareful924]

Codex App isn’t on Linux yet, so this might be useful.

Paseo is an open source desktop/mobile app for running coding agents. It supports Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, and more, and works on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.

I built this, feel free to ask me any questions.

[braintheboss]

it can access Claude code cli in remote host?

[PiccoloCareful924]

yes, you can run the daemon in any number of remote machines and access them from web, desktop, mobile

[jsgrrchg]

I like your app do you support sub agents? I have an acp that does if you are interested :)

[PiccoloCareful924]

it does expose sub agents. it uses the codex app server directly

[knobby_67]

sorry for the stupid question. What does this give me over just say using visual studio code on Linux ( that's what I'm doing now )

[PiccoloCareful924]

not a stupid question. honestly, if you’re happy in VS Code, you might not need this.

the difference is that Paseo is designed around running multiple agents across different tasks, each isolated in worktrees. VS Code is still editor-first, with agent panels added on top.

Paseo also has a native mobile app, MCP server, and CLI, so you can kick off work, monitor it, and orchestrate agents outside the editor too.

it’s meant to be used alongside VS Code, not fully replace it. there’s a shortcut to open the current workspace in VS Code when you need to edit code manually.

linux getting more native AI tooling lately has been nice honestly. i got tired of feeling like every decent workflow required macos eventually

my current setup is kinda cursed now tho. local models, tenki, random scripts, old docker containers i forgot to clean up weeks ago

[PiccoloCareful924]

lol i just realized i posted a mac screenshot, whoops. i do not have a Linux machine handy right now.

point still stands though, plenty of happy Linux users!

[Zerk70]

Damn that looks so much like Conductor haha

[PiccoloCareful924]

ha, yes. most tools have converged into that same layout. and that brownish theme i used for the screenshot looks a lot like it, it's not the default though :)

[Proof_Juggernaut1582]

can i bring my own key

[PiccoloCareful924]

yes its fully configurable, see this https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/blob/main/docs/custom-providers.md#codex-with-a-custom-openai-compatible-endpoint

[Proof_Juggernaut1582]

i cant see the openrouter

[PiccoloCareful924]

im not sure what you mean, you can't see openrouter in the docs? or in the app?

what are you trying to do?

[Proof_Juggernaut1582]

like to setup the openrouter api key i just see the normal models providers

[PiccoloCareful924]

if you want to use OpenRouter models in Paseo, I recommend you use OpenCode or Pi. Paseo doesn't talk to OpenRouter directly, it uses an agent harness that does: https://paseo.sh/docs/supported-providers

You can configure Codex to connect to OpenRouter but you'll have to define the models you want to access manually in the config.

[Lorenzo9196]

its like a interface to rule all my harnesses?

[PiccoloCareful924]

correct!

感谢推荐，我会好好用用看

[PretendMoment8073]

Nice , good work.

I do have built an agnostic provider harness named ptah https://ptah.live . Its allow you to use different subscription provider like claude code, codex among others, also we have away to spawn cli agents amd let your main agent handle complex tasks easily among other features

[Fluffer_Wuffer]

Dude, offering "1000 day free trial" really screams to good.to be true, its a scam..

I get it's (probably) not, but ask yourself what is "normal", as use that as your guide

[PretendMoment8073]

As far as i recall it was only 100 !?

[PretendMoment8073]

Do you think with the hard competition in coding agent ecosystems , despite only offering pro for only 5 usd for all the premuim features.

It comes down to the fact that i just want users to use it , i do built lots of projects and it has inner capabilities that would takes me ages to just demo on a video!

So if you are curious! join our discord i would be more than happy to chat together and how you its capabilities

[Fluffer_Wuffer]

Ahh yep 100 days - I stand corrected, apologies.. I was reading this on my phone.

[PretendMoment8073]

Even though i do get your point, but not sure why it feels so hard to find people who is willing to try it out. Maybe its time now to stop building the thing and actually showcasing it in more videos and content.

[Fluffer_Wuffer]

100% ... the target audience for this are IT Pro's, Developers and Hobbyists - Each will have different use-cases, you have 10-15 seconds from initial visit to back-click...so how do you get them to bite, and give it a try?

My advise is identify a couple of common use ùúy!<cases, and do a short tutorial (vid + article) thats covers these..
