Two editions, one archive, free for everything you run on your own computer. Pick the one you want, and you can always install the other later.
No account. After the install, no connection to our servers except the update check you press yourself. No Marketplace, no Cruise or AutoCognition, no phone remote on this install. Everything else runs fully local.
A free account, asked once at first run. Opens the community Marketplace, the phone remote, Autopilot Cruise and AutoCognition, and later the optional paid plans (see Pricing). Everything that runs on your computer stays free.
It is the same archive and the same code: the edition only sets what is switched on. install_cockpit.sh asks which one you want; install_standalone.sh and install_full.sh skip the question. Every bundle carries an integrity manifest, so the app can check that nothing was changed. Older cockpit_full_project.tar.gz and cockpit_v1_noaccount.tar.gz links still work.
Linux Mint, Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 13, Fedora 44, Manjaro/Arch and openSUSE Tumbleweed. Hand-tested on fresh installs of each, and an unattended install passes in our automated checks.
Use the command above. Setup Guide
Right-click the download → Extract All, then run install_windows.ps1 in an administrator PowerShell. It sets up WSL2 and a Start-menu shortcut, and the Linux installer runs inside WSL. Tested end to end on a clean Windows 11.
Run tar -xzf on the archive in Terminal, then the installer. On Apple Silicon our automated check runs the real installer to the end and the app answers. The interface itself has not been hand-tested on a Mac yet.
The same archive and install_cockpit.sh as regular Linux. An unattended install passes on a real ARM64 runner.
A small bundle (Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml + README) that packs Cockpit and Ollama into one container. Build it locally, then open http://localhost:8080. Written and reviewed, but not yet built end to end: tell us how it goes.
The app files already extracted, plus a step-by-step guide for Linux, macOS and Windows with no script to run. The installer scripts are still inside if you change your mind.
Download cockpit_manual_install.zipCockpit opens in its own small window (GTK 3 + WebKitGTK, written in Free Pascal). The archives above include it ready built; this is the source alone, under the Apache License 2.0, to read or rebuild with bash build.sh (needs only fpc).
Android, iOS or any other device can reach your own Cockpit through the Everywhere relay: a free account with the Everywhere tier, and nothing installed on the phone beyond a browser tab.
Open the Everywhere relayAgents: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and others each need their own sign-in or key; local models need Ollama or LocalAI. See Features.
The installer adds AI Cockpit to your applications menu, the cockpit-start and cockpit-stop commands, and offers a Ctrl+Alt+C shortcut that brings Cockpit up from any application (and starts it when it is not running). Closing its window runs the proper exit procedure. Install both editions and Stand-alone gets its own menu entry and cockpit-v1-start; only one runs at a time.
