Getting started

Isee runs your coding agents on your machine and gives you a mobile, desktop, web, and CLI client to drive them from anywhere. Three common ways to install.

Download from paseo.sh/download or the GitHub releases page. Open it and you're done.

The desktop app bundles its own daemon and starts it automatically, no separate install required. On first launch you'll see a brief startup screen, then connect from your phone using Settings → your host → Pair Device.

Linux

Use the .deb on Debian/Ubuntu or the .rpm on Fedora to keep Chromium's sandbox available even when your distribution restricts user namespaces. The installer configures the bundled sandbox helper; you do not need to change system security settings.

For an AppImage, make the download executable and open it:

chmod +x Isee-x86_64.AppImage
./Isee-x86_64.AppImage

If it reports error loading libfuse.so.2, run without FUSE:

./Isee-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run

Alternatively, install libfuse2t64 on Ubuntu 24.04 or newer (sudo apt install libfuse2t64), or your distribution's FUSE 2 compatibility package. This dependency belongs to the AppImage runtime, before Isee starts.

Isee checks sandbox availability each time it launches. AppImage and extracted tar archives retain sandboxing when user namespaces work. On a restricted host without a usable installed helper, they launch with Chromium's sandbox disabled. Prefer the installed package if you require OS process isolation. Settings → Diagnostics → App Diagnostics reports the sandbox state and reason; the desktop log records the same decision. An explicit --no-sandbox argument overrides the automatic choice.

Server / CLI

For headless machines, dev boxes, or any setup where you want the daemon running without the desktop UI:

npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
paseo

Isee starts the daemon locally, then asks whether to enable the end-to-end encrypted relay and print a pairing QR code. If you decline, enter the daemon address manually over TCP, Tailscale, or another VPN.

The daemon can also serve the browser web app itself, so you can use the full UI without the hosted app. See Self-hosting the web UI.

Configuration and local state live under PASEO_HOME (defaults to ~/.paseo).

Docker

For servers, dev boxes, NAS devices, or homelab hosts, run the official image:

docker run -d --name paseo \
  -p 6767:6767 \
  -e PASEO_PASSWORD=change-me \
  -v "$PWD/paseo-home:/home/paseo" \
  -v "$PWD:/workspace" \
  ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest

Then open http://localhost:6767.

The image runs the daemon and serves the bundled web UI. It does not bundle agent CLIs, so extend it with the agents you use. See Docker for Compose, reverse proxy, agent install, and security examples.

Prerequisites

Isee manages other agents, it doesn't ship one. Before it's useful, install at least one provider CLI yourself and make sure it works with your credentials. See Supported providers for the full list.

You'll also want the GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated, Isee uses it for PR-aware worktrees and a few orchestration features.
