Cockpit - The local-first cockpit for AI coding at scale
by•
Three-panel cockpit (Agent/Explorer/Console) for parallel Claude Code sessions. Built on the Agent SDK — no API keys needed if Claude Code already works. Multi-project, local-first, MIT licensed.

Hey Hunters 👋
I built Cockpit because using Claude Code at scale was killing my flow.
I'd have 4 windows open: chat in one, editor in another, terminal in a third,
and a browser tab to verify results. Switching between them ate more time
than the actual coding.
So I asked: pilots don't fly with 5 separate dashboards — why should we?
Cockpit is a unified development cockpit built on the Claude Code Agent SDK.
Three panels, swipe-to-switch, always rendered:
• Agent — multi-project AI sessions in parallel, red-dot notifications when done
• Explorer — file tree, syntax highlighting (Shiki), Git blame/diff, LSP, fuzzy search
• Console — terminal + smart "bubbles" for browser automation, Postgres/MySQL/Redis
The killer feature is parallel sessions: kick off 5 Claude tasks across
different projects, switch between them while they run, get notified when
each one completes. I went from running 1 AI task at a time to ~10.
Zero cloud dependency. If you can run Claude Code, Cockpit works — same
API key, no signup, all local.

Would love feedback — especially on the multi-session UX. Building this
changed how I work; hoping it does for you too.
