Which is right for you?
Pick Sesori if you
- You want a purpose-built phone workflow, not a broader desktop, web, and CLI suite.
- Sesori’s seven harnesses cover your stack and you value a narrower surface.
- You prefer app–Bridge account discovery to QR or link pairing.
- You want Sesori’s managed relay and documented feature-specific privacy boundary.
Pick Paseo if you
- You want an AGPL-licensed project you can modify and self-host.
- You need far more than seven integrations or a configurable ACP agent.
- You want desktop, web, and CLI clients in addition to native mobile apps.
- You want direct LAN, socket, Tailscale, or self-managed paths alongside a relay.
