Cockpit

A web UI for Claude Code that frees it from your terminal.

Why

Claude Code is great. It's also a terminal app. One window, one machine, foreground only. Cockpit takes the same engine and runs it as a server you reach from any browser.

Three things follow:

  1. Claude Code on your phone. Reply to your assistant from a train, a kitchen, anywhere a browser opens.
  2. Many Claude Code sessions running at once. Switch between projects without juggling tmux panes. Sessions live on the server, so closing the browser does not kill them. The chat view stitches across /clear so long threads keep their full visual history.
  3. Cron-driven Claude Code. Schedule a prompt, walk away. Each run produces a transcript that renders the same as a live session.

Inside a session: a tabbed, split-pane layout holding the chat, a diff viewer for code changes (split or inline), a file viewer with syntax highlighting, and an embedded terminal. Plus global search across all sessions (Ctrl+Shift+F), searchable prompt history on the up arrow, and plan-mode approvals when Claude proposes a plan. The sidebar shows collapsible sections for sessions, reviews, file changes, and file trees, with status beacons so you can tell at a glance which sessions are working, waiting, or idle.

Bring your own models. Built-in Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus, or point Cockpit at any Anthropic-compatible endpoint, a proxy, a gateway, or your own deployment, each with its own credentials and model list. Choose the model per session and per scheduled job, with a 200K or 1M context selector. Each session runs in Stream mode (headless) or PTY mode, which drives the real Claude Code CLI through a pseudo-terminal.

It also takes care of things you usually hand-edit: agents, skills, hooks, MCP servers, CLAUDE.md memory. All editable from the UI.

PR reviews are a first-class flow. Pick an org, pick a repo, pick a PR. Cockpit reads the diff via the GitHub CLI and starts a Claude session scoped to it. Diff on one side, chat on the other. Active reviews pin to the sidebar alongside your sessions.

Scheduled jobs turn Claude Code into a cron worker. Give one a prompt and a schedule (a cron expression or a simple interval) and scope it tightly: its own model and thinking level, the exact tools and MCP servers it is allowed to touch, a run-time budget, how long to keep transcripts. It runs unattended, and each run renders as a normal session transcript you can open later. Results land in an inbox, with optional push to Telegram or ntfy.sh, so a nightly dependency bump or a morning PR-triage pass reaches your phone while you are away from the machine.

Run it on your laptop the way you'd run the TUI. Or run it on a home server and reach it from your phone. Same UI either way.

Quick start

npx @alexjbarnes/cockpit

Or install globally:

npm install -g @alexjbarnes/cockpit
cockpit

The startup log prints usable connection URLs (local and network). Open http://localhost:3001 and set a password on first run.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js >= 20
  • Claude Code CLI installed and on PATH
  • An Anthropic API key configured for Claude Code
  • GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated, if you want PR reviews

Tested on Linux and macOS. Windows is unverified.

Configuration

Variable Description Default
PORT Port the server listens on 3001
HOST Bind address 0.0.0.0
COCKPIT_RESET_PASSWORD Set to true to reset password on next startup false
COCKPIT_CONFIG_DIR Cockpit config location (password, providers, defaults, jobs, inbox) ~/.cockpit
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR Claude config and transcripts Cockpit reads ~/.claude
COCKPIT_DEBUG Set to 1 to write a structured debug log unset

Setting COCKPIT_CONFIG_DIR and CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR together lets you run isolated instances side by side. See Settings for the full list.

Remote access

Cockpit binds to 0.0.0.0 by default. On the host machine, open http://localhost:3001. From other devices on the same LAN, use the host's local IP (the startup log prints usable URLs).

To reach Cockpit from outside your LAN, prefer Tailscale over port forwarding. Tailscale gives every device a private IP on a flat network without opening router ports or exposing the server publicly.

To restrict Cockpit to the host machine only, set HOST=127.0.0.1.
