Cockpit, a project-sized home for Claude Code

cockpitdesktop.com Observed source
Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free desktop app that keeps Claude Code agents, terminals, files, Git, notes, tasks, and machine monitoring together in one project window.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

Cockpit uses a local project folder as its organizing unit rather than a separate project file or setup wizard. Its terminal service preserves shells, screen state, and scrollback across app restarts, while the Git view includes worktrees for parallel branches. The page also describes optional Compose tabs, Markdown notes, due-date tasks, machine monitoring, and meeting recordings transcribed into notes. Account syncing is presented as optional; local paths remain on each computer and offline use is supported.
