aidash.dev
aidash.dev presents Cockpit, a local macOS app that puts Claude Code and Codex sessions side by side in one window. It is designed to help people see what every coding-agent session is doing, answer sessions waiting for input, start new sessions, and organize many sessions without a wall of terminal tabs.
At a Glance
- Developers using Claude Code
- Developers using OpenAI Codex
- People doing AI-powered software development or analysis across many concurrent sessions
- Mac users who prefer local, privacy-preserving tooling

Cockpit 0.1.4 release: Word rendering and MCP server startup/path fixes with better server error messages.
Products & Services
A free, local macOS desktop app that reads Claude Code and Codex transcripts from disk, presents sessions as cards, lets users inspect and answer them, start new sessions, organize them into categories, search them, and review files and version history. It supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 13 or newer.
A drop-in extension mechanism for rendering additional document types and URLs inside Cockpit; built-in documentation describes Markdown, CSV, images, Word .docx, and plugin development.
Market Position
Cockpit positions itself as a local supervisory layer over existing coding-agent harnesses rather than another coding agent: it reads the transcripts Claude Code and Codex already write, organizes them in one interface, and does not replace how those tools run. Its differentiation is local/no-account operation, a unified Claude Code + Codex view, and session/file organization at high concurrency. The official site contrasts this workflow with managing many terminal tabs.
Leadership
Founders
grollat
The Hacker News user grollat publicly introduced Cockpit as a tool they built after becoming frustrated with managing 20–30 Claude Code and Codex tabs while doing AI-powered work at a Big Tech company. The public source identifies the creator by the handle grollat rather than a legal name.
Founding Story
According to the creator's Show HN post, Cockpit began from the frustration of having 20–30 Claude Code and Codex tabs open and losing track of older sessions. The initial vision was to treat AI sessions as files that could be opened, organized, searched, and started from one local interface, while keeping data on the Mac and avoiding a login or cloud upload.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Cockpit is distributed as a free local app using a bring-your-own-API-key model. The user pays the selected model provider directly; aidash.dev says Cockpit has no server to run and no user data to sell.
Pricing Tiers
Free macOS download; no account required. Claude Code/Codex API or model costs are paid directly to the model provider by the user.
