CodeNomad vs Kandev vs Paseo vs Orca — agent control planes, judged from a phone

Every one of these four will run a coding agent for you. The interesting question isn’t can they run code — it’s where can you run them from. I’m looking at CodeNomad, Kandev, Paseo, and Orca through a mobile-first lens, because that’s the axis they actually separate on. Two of them ship real phone apps. One is a desktop cockpit that happens to have a browser mode. One is a governance workbench that assumes you’re sitting at the desk. That difference tells you more about each project’s philosophy than any feature list.
