Purpose: Cockpit Tools is a general-purpose AI IDE account management tool designed to help users efficiently manage multiple AI IDE accounts, supporting one-click switching, quota monitoring, automatic wake-up, and running multiple app instances in parallel, so as to make full use of the resources of different accounts.
Main capabilities:
- Dashboard: Centrally displays the account status of each platform, the remaining quota of models, and reset times, supports one-click refresh and one-click wake-up, and displays quota consumption with visual progress bars.
- One-click account switching: Switch the currently used account without manual login and logout.
- Quota monitoring: View the remaining quota and reset time of each model in real time, and display the plan/plan type (such as Basic, Plus, Team, Free, Pro, Business, Enterprise, etc.) and the raw quota values.
- Wake-up tasks: Wake up AI models on a schedule to trigger the quota reset cycle in advance.
- Multi-instance parallelism: Supports running multiple accounts and multiple instances of the same platform in parallel, with each instance bound to a different account, using an independent directory and startup parameters, without affecting each other.
- Account import: Supports OAuth authorization, Refresh Token, Token/JSON import, local client import, import of the current local login state, and plugin synchronization, among other methods (the supported methods differ slightly by platform).
- Plugin integration and local API: The Codex local API service is driven by the built-in CLIProxyAPI sidecar; supports voice reverse proxy related entry points and request parameter descriptions.
- Batch management: Some platforms support tags, filtering, export, batch deletion, and batch refresh.
Supported platforms: Antigravity IDE, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Kiro, Cursor, Grok CLI, CodeBuddy, CodeBuddy CN, Qoder, Trae, TRAE SOLO, Trae CN, TRAE SOLO CN, Zed, ZCode.
How to use: This tool is a local desktop application. It does not require separately registering platform accounts, nor does it rely on a project-built cloud storage account list. Installation methods include: manually downloading the installation package for the corresponding system from GitHub Releases (macOS is .dmg, Windows is .msi, .exe, or x64-portable.zip, Linux is .deb, .rpm, or .AppImage); macOS can also be installed viaHomebrew. In the app, you can set the theme, language, and automatic refresh interval, and manage platform configuration and quota alerts.
Applicable scenarios: Users who need to frequently switch accounts among multiple AI IDE platforms; users who want to run multiple account instances in parallel at the same time to handle different projects; users who need centralized monitoring of quota usage and reset times across platforms; users who want to wake up models on a schedule and trigger quota resets in advance.
Limitations and notes:
- This project uses the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license by default, allowing use and modification for personal learning, research, and non-commercial scenarios; any unauthorized commercial use is not allowed. Commercial use requires contacting the author to obtain separate written commercial authorization and a quotation.
- Data is mainly stored locally, such as in directories like ~/.cockpit_tools; the development environment uses ~/.cockpit_tools_dev, and COCKPIT_TOOLS_DATA_DIR can be used to specify a custom directory.
- Grok CLI credentials are not encrypted; the access token/refresh token are stored locally in plaintext JSON, mainly relying on operating system account isolation and local file permission protection.
- WebSocket is by default only accessible locally, listening on 127.0.0.1, with default port 19528, and can be disabled or changed in the settings; when plugin integration is not used, it is recommended to disable the WebSocket service.
- Network-related scenarios include OAuth login, token refresh, quota queries, version update checks, and other official API requests.
- Officially supported platforms are macOS, Windows, and Linux; the Windows portable package requires Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.
- If macOS reports that the app is damaged or cannot be opened, you can remove the quarantine attribute via the command line or still open it in System Settings.
- Other features, fees, prices, platform details, or effects not explicitly stated in the materials are not provided for now.
