Popularity2/5
Emerging
About 16K GitHub stars and a USV-led $11.5M seed, with a growing installer base after the Conductor Cloud shutdown. Outside-contributor issue activity on its repo is a fraction of Paseo's, T3 Code's, or Orca's, and few developers outside the agent-orchestration crowd know the name, which changed from Superset in October 2026.
Learning Curve2/5
Easy
Install the Mac app, add a repository, pick an agent, and describe a task; worktrees, branches, and port forwarding are handled for you. Setting up a headless remote host with an API key and a systemd unit is the only step that asks for server experience.
Flexibility4/5
Flexible
Runs more than twenty agent CLIs plus any custom one, on a laptop, a self-hosted server, or vendor sandboxes, and exposes a CLI, SDK, MCP server, and event-driven automations. The macOS-first desktop app and the relay-only remote path set the outer limits.
Performance3/5
Average
Agents run as native terminal processes in a background daemon that survives app restarts, and remote ports are forwarded per workspace. Throughput depends on the host machine and on relay latency for remote sessions rather than on Paradev itself.
Portability3/5
Some lock-in
MIT-licensed, works with agents from every major vendor, and can host workspaces on any Linux server you control. Remote access and the mobile app still depend on Paradev's account system and relay, and cloud workspaces run only on Paradev's own sandboxes.
About Paradev
Paradev (formerly Superset) is an open-source, MIT-licensed desktop app for running several CLI coding agents in parallel on one repository. Each task gets its own git worktree, branch, and terminals, so Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, Amp, Copilot, Pi, or any custom CLI agent can work on separate changes at the same time. Paradev is not an agent itself: it launches the agent CLIs you already have, on your own subscriptions and API keys, and never proxies model calls.
Around the agents sits a review workspace: a changes pane for diffs, commits, and pushes, a pull request pane with checks and review threads, an in-app browser that previews each worktree's dev server on its own detected ports, and a sidebar showing which agent is working, done, or waiting for input. A CLI, a TypeScript SDK, and an MCP server let agents and scripts create and drive workspaces, and automations can start agent runs on a schedule or from GitHub, Slack, Linear, Sentry, or a webhook.
Agents can run in three places. Locally, the desktop app runs them on your Mac (Linux is an experimental AppImage; Windows is not available), and they keep running when the window closes. Any other machine you own, a Mac mini or a Linux VPS, becomes a remote host: install the CLI and run superset start --daemon, or set it up over SSH from the desktop app. The host reaches your devices through the Paradev relay, so the server needs no open inbound ports, and Paradev's Bring Your Own Cloud guide covers the same setup on a server in your own cloud account. Paradev also runs cloud workspaces itself, sandboxes that keep working while your laptop is closed and are metered in GB-hours on the Team plan.
The desktop app and local workspaces are free. Remote hosts, automations, and the iPhone and iPad app, which opens the same workspaces to send prompts, review diffs, and merge pull requests, need a paid plan. Paradev publishes migration guides for Conductor and Conductor Cloud users. The CLI command is still superset, and the product is unrelated to Apache Superset.
Key Features
- One git worktree, branch, and terminal set per task, so several CLI agents work in one repo at once
- Runs Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, Amp, Copilot, Pi, and any custom CLI agent
- Changes pane, pull request pane with checks and review threads, and merge without leaving the app
- In-app browser with per-workspace port detection for previewing each worktree's dev server
- Remote hosts: run agents on a Mac mini or Linux VPS through the Paradev relay, no inbound ports needed
- Cloud workspaces that keep running with the laptop closed, metered in GB-hours
- iPhone and iPad app to start agents, answer them, review diffs, and merge pull requests
- CLI, TypeScript SDK, MCP server, and automations triggered by schedules, GitHub, Slack, Linear, or Sentry
Pros
- MIT-licensed with a free desktop app, and agents run on the subscriptions you already pay for
- Supports more than twenty agent CLIs, with status, resume, and usage tracking for the major ones
- Covers local, self-hosted remote, and vendor cloud setups in one app instead of forcing one model
- Remote hosts connect outbound through the relay, so a VPS can host agents without exposing ports
- Published migration paths for Conductor and Conductor Cloud users
Cons
- No Windows build, and the Linux desktop app is still experimental
- Remote access, automations, and the mobile app all need the Pro plan; cloud workspaces need Team at $60 per user
- Remote hosts route terminal and port traffic through Paradev's relay rather than a direct connection
- Cloud workspaces are in early access and not yet enabled for every account
- The mobile app is iPhone and iPad only, requires iOS 26, and has no Android version yet

Tools Related to Paradev
Works well with Paradev(6)
Claude Code is the agent Paradev supports most fully: status in the sidebar, session resume after a restart, subagents in the terminal header, usage history and a quota meter across several Claude accounts.
Codex runs in Paradev with the same depth as Claude Code: working and needs-input status, resume, subagents, structured hand-off between agents, and a quota meter with multiple ChatGPT accounts.
Cursor Agent, Cursor's command-line agent, is a built-in Paradev agent with status and session resume, so it can run in parallel worktrees next to Claude Code and Codex.
The GitHub Copilot CLI is a built-in Paradev agent with status, resume and usage history, with model and reasoning-effort pickers in the app.
OpenCode is a built-in Paradev agent with status, session resume, forking and usage tracking, running in its own worktree alongside other agents.
Grok is a built-in Paradev agent with status, resume, forking, usage history and a quota meter, running in its own worktree like the other supported CLIs.
Alternatives to Paradev(7)
Both run Claude Code, Codex and other CLI agents in parallel git worktrees from a Mac app with diff review and pull requests. Paradev is MIT-licensed, also runs agents on your own servers, and publishes guides for moving Conductor and Conductor Cloud workspaces over.
Both are open-source desktop apps that give each coding agent its own git worktree, with a diff viewer and an in-app browser. Orca ships on macOS, Windows and Linux; Paradev is macOS-first but adds remote hosts, automations and paid cloud workspaces.
Both are open-source GUIs that run CLI coding agents in isolated worktrees on your own subscriptions. T3 Code is free with no paid tiers; Paradev adds remote hosts, automations, team plans and hosted cloud workspaces.
Both keep agents reachable away from your desk. Paseo is a free, self-hosted daemon with iOS, Android, web and voice clients; Paradev is a worktree-centred desktop app whose remote hosts, iPhone app and cloud workspaces sit on paid plans.
Both host coding agents next to your terminals. Warp is a terminal with its own built-in agent that can also run Claude Code or Codex; Paradev has no agent of its own and organises external CLI agents into one worktree per task.
Both run many coding agents side by side on a machine you control. Herdr is a terminal workspace on macOS, Linux and Windows; Paradev is a macOS GUI that adds worktrees per task, a pull request pane and an in-app browser.
