Cockpit

Cockpit is a local macOS application designed to aggregate and manage sessions from existing agent harnesses (specifically Claude Code and Codex) in a single interface. It reads the transcripts those tools write to disk, presents sessions in lists and cards, and provides reply boxes, permission approval controls, and session controls without changing how you run your harnesses.

The app emphasizes privacy and local operation: there is no account, no telemetry, and nothing leaves the user’s Mac except the prompts sent to the model provider using the user's own API key. Cockpit is distributed as a free macOS download and is intended for users who run multiple agent sessions and want a unified, searchable, versioned workspace for those sessions.

A free, local macOS app that puts every Claude Code and Codex session in one window. See what each is doing, answer the ones waiting, start new ones, and keep hundreds organized. No account, nothing uploaded.

Key Features

Unified sessions view

Presents Claude Code and Codex sessions side-by-side in one window so you can see what every session is doing and which ones need attention.

Attention table

A single table that shows sessions that need user input from either tool, each with a reply box and quick actions (reply, approve permission, or stop a run).

Start sessions from the app

Create a new session without opening a terminal: pick a directory, type the first instruction, and choose Claude Code or Codex.

Files as tabs with version history

Files agents write appear as tabs with a timeline you can read backwards, diff, and restore from; every write is kept as a version.

Inline commenting and responses

Select a passage in a file and send feedback directly back to the session that wrote it as a targeted change or batch message.

Document viewers and plugin support

Built-in rendering for .docx, Markdown, CSV, images and more; you can add new viewers as drop-in plugins that live outside the app.

Organization and search at scale

Organize hundreds of sessions with categories (colours, icons, sub-categories), pin recurring flows, and search across past and present sessions.

Local-first privacy

No account, no telemetry, no cloud; the app reads local session transcripts and keeps your API key in a local file on your machine.

Pricing

Free Tier Available

Cockpit is free to use; users pay model providers directly by supplying their own API keys. There is no server or hosted data from Cockpit.

Use Cases

Manage many agent sessions

Keep hundreds of Claude Code and Codex sessions organized, searchable, and pinned so threads remain where you left them rather than lost in terminal tabs.

Review and iterate on agent outputs

Open session transcripts and file tabs with full version history, select passages, and send targeted feedback back to the running session.

Start and control agent runs without terminals

Launch new runs from the app UI, choose model harness, pick directories, and interact with sessions without opening new terminal tabs.

Work with agent-written documents

Render agent outputs as documents (Markdown, CSV, .docx, images), add viewers via plugins, and restore previous file versions when needed.

Integrations

Claude Code

Supports sessions produced by the Claude Code harness, showing transcripts and letting you reply or control runs.

Codex

Supports sessions produced by the Codex harness alongside Claude Code sessions in the same interface.

Drop-in document viewers

Allows adding external/document viewer plugins (e.g., for new file types) that live outside the app.

Benefits

Consolidates multiple Claude Code and Codex sessions into a single, manageable interface.
Improves productivity by surfacing sessions that need user attention in one table with quick actions.
Preserves privacy by operating locally with no account, telemetry, or cloud uploads; prompts use your API key stored locally.
Provides full file version history and easy restoration of agent-written files.
Supports extensibility via drop-in document viewer plugins.

Limitations

macOS-only: the page provides a macOS download (Apple silicon and Intel) and does not mention other OS support.
Requires existing harnesses that write transcripts (Cockpit reads those transcripts; it does not replace the harnesses).
Users must supply and pay for their own model API keys; Cockpit does not provide or bill for model usage.
No cloud storage or server features — all session reading and API-key usage is local.

Frequently Asked Questions

No verified FAQs are available.

Getting Started

  1. 1 Download the Cockpit app for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel) from the site.
  2. 2 Open the app (it opens with a double-click) and optionally read the guide linked on the page.
  3. 3 Hit + to start a session: pick a directory, type an initial instruction, and choose Claude Code or Codex.
  4. 4 Ensure you have and place your model provider API key in the local file Cockpit expects so prompts can be sent to the chosen model.
