COCKPITFAQ
What is Cockpit?
An app that keeps your AI assistant's work in order. The work runs on your Windows PC; on your Android phone or tablet you see your projects, answer its questions in a tap, line up work for the night and read what got done.
Does it work with other AI assistants?
Works with Claude Code today. Codex: coming soon. Cockpit does not replace your AI assistant and does not run your work in the cloud.
Can I use an iPhone?
Yes, as a web app. On your iPhone, open app.cockpit.nakhlastudios.com in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. It opens full screen like an app, in English or Arabic. Notifications need iOS 16.4 or newer and the app on your Home Screen. The PC itself still needs Windows.
Can Cockpit see my code?
No. When you turn on showing your sessions in the PC app, your phone sees each session's folder name, its state, the AI model and its questions to you. Never your files, your code or your full conversation. You can turn it off any time in the PC app's Settings.
Does my PC have to stay on?
Yes, for live information. If it is off, the app shows when it was last seen. With a spare Android tablet at home on the same Wi-Fi (Home box), you can wake it from anywhere.
How do I link my PC to my phone?
Open Cockpit on your PC. In the app on your phone, tap Link a PC and type the code your PC shows, then say yes on the PC. The code works once and expires after 10 minutes.
Will Cockpit ever turn my PC off by itself?
Never. Shutting down, restarting or putting the PC to sleep always starts with you, asks you to confirm, and gives you 60 seconds to cancel.
My notifications come late. What can I do?
Some phones stop apps in the background to save battery. The app has a short battery walkthrough that shows you what to change. Notifications also follow your phone's own settings.
Which languages does it speak?
English and Arabic. The phone app follows your phone's language. In the PC app, choose it in Settings, then Appearance, then Language.
Where is my data kept?
Your account's data is stored in the European Union, on Cloudflare. Requests pass through Cloudflare's worldwide network on the way, and Google sign-in runs in the United States. It always travels encrypted. Live progress and screen pictures pass through and are not stored.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Settings, then Account and device, then Delete account. Or without the app, from the account deletion page.
How much does it cost?
Nothing while we test. Paid plans may come later, with their own terms shown before anyone pays.
Is Cockpit made by the makers of my AI assistant?
No. Cockpit is an independent product. It is not made, endorsed or sponsored by the makers of any AI assistant.
What if I answer with no signal?
Your answer is kept on your phone and sent by itself as soon as you are back online. The card says so while it waits. Your PC acts on it once, never twice.
I have more than one PC. Which one do the buttons control?
The one you choose. In the app, open Settings, then Commands go to, and pick the PC. Screens, shut down, stop all and the other buttons then act on that PC only.
