Lumbridge vs Paradev (formerly Superset)
An open-source workspace for running many coding agents at once, each task in its own git worktree and branch, with a desktop app, CLI and iPhone app. Lumbridge is the open engine a company runs on when agents do the work: terminals, mail, notes, library, voice and a software factory on your own machines.
Paradev (formerly Superset)
Pick Paradev if you work on a Mac and want parallel agents in worktrees with diff review today, or want hosted cloud workspaces.
Open source · MITFree desktop app; paid Pro, Team, Ultra and Enterprise plans. Checked 2026-11-10.

02 · Honestly
Where Paradev (formerly Superset) is ahead.
- It is released, with a downloadable macOS app; Lumbridge is built from source and opens on November 13, 2026.
- A worktree and branch per task, with diff review and merge in one window. Our pages do not list worktree handling.
- Hosted cloud workspaces in a sandbox, plus a TypeScript SDK and an MCP server.
- A published iPhone and iPad app. Our iOS app is not signed or published yet.
03 · The difference
What Lumbridge adds.
- Linux is the main target for every part. Paradev lists Linux as experimental.
- Mail, Notes and Library: agent-safe mail, a Markdown editor and a private docs and code warehouse.
- Computer, Voice and Speak run open models and speech on a GPU box you own.
- Factory gates each change on required checks, a reviewer pass and current main, with token and time budgets per ticket.
