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 diff viewer for code changes (split or inline), a file viewer with syntax highlighting, message search across the full transcript, and plan-mode approvals when Claude proposes a plan.

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.

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.
