What makes Cocxy different

Agent awareness, local privacy, and a native engine

The site explains Cocxy on its own terms: visible agent state, local data, and a native macOS app.

Real-time agent awareness

Cocxy understands when an agent is thinking, working, waiting for input, or done.

Local-first by design

Vault, sessions, configuration, and review state live on your Mac unless you start an explicit action.

Built for developers

Swift, AppKit, SwiftUI, CocxyCore, and Metal support a native workflow.

Works with your whole agent stack

  • Claude
  • Codex
  • OpenCode
  • Pi
  • Cursor
  • Gemini
  • Rovo
  • Copilot
  • CodeBuddy
  • Factory
  • Qoder

Flagship features

Everything connects to real agent work

Cocxy combines terminal, review, Vault, browser, Markdown, and remotes without sending your work to a Cocxy backend.

Multi-Layer Agent Detection

Cocxy detects local coding agents through hooks, OSC signals, terminal semantics, pattern matching, and timing heuristics.

  • 11 built-in profiles
  • Custom agents.toml support
  • Per-surface state

Encrypted Vault

Search, resume, pin, preview, and export local agent sessions without sending terminal history to a remote service.

  • Encrypted at rest
  • Full-text search
  • Smart resume

Inline Code Review

Review agent changes beside the terminal, comment on lines, accept or reject hunks, and return structured feedback to the session.

  • File tree and diff
  • Inline comments
  • Keyboard workflow

Markdown Workspace

A native writing surface with preview, outline, code blocks, diagrams, math, exports, and local file workflows.

  • Live preview
  • Mermaid and KaTeX
  • Export paths

GitHub Pane

Keep pull requests, issues, checks, release pages, and repository context next to the terminal without adding a Cocxy account.

  • gh auth reuse
  • Checks and releases
  • Local context

Built-in Browser

Preview localhost, inspect pages, keep profiles isolated, and place the browser beside terminal panes.

  • Profiles
  • Dev tools
  • Split workflow

Remote Workspaces

SSH, proxy, relay, daemon, and file-transfer paths are designed as explicit user actions with local control.

  • SSH multiplexing
  • SOCKS and CONNECT
  • SFTP handoff

GPU Terminal Engine

CocxyCore combines a Zig terminal core, C ABI, glyph atlas hardening, PTY handling, and Metal rendering for native macOS performance.

  • Zig core
  • Metal renderer
  • PTY semantics

CLI Companion

Script windows, tabs, agents, hooks, Vault, browser, markdown, remotes, configuration, themes, and diagnostics.

  • JSON-friendly output
  • Socket API
  • Shell scripts

Shell Integration

zsh, bash, and fish wrappers preserve user dotfiles while adding cwd, command-boundary, and browser-open signals.

  • zsh, bash, fish
  • OSC 7 cwd
  • OSC 133 blocks

Plugin System

Local plugin hooks extend Cocxy while staying transparent, permissioned, and dependency-light.

  • Event hooks
  • TOML manifest
  • Local execution

Zero Telemetry

Cocxy ships without analytics SDKs, automatic crash upload, required accounts, visitor tracking, or session telemetry.

  • No analytics SDK
  • No account
  • No session upload

Demo

The demo shows terminal panes, browser, Vault, and local state without loading third-party scripts.

Architecture

Swift + Metal, powered by CocxyCore

The app separates native UI, domain services, PTY handling, Metal rendering, and the CocxyCore C ABI.

Verifiable privacy

Zero telemetry. No account. No tracking.

Cocxy ships without analytics, automatic crash uploads, or hidden tracking. Network access exists only for explicit actions such as updates, browser sessions, GitHub, SSH, or plugins.

Key questions

Fast answers before installing

Does Cocxy require an account?

No. The app works locally without a required account.

Do my sessions leave my Mac?

Not through telemetry. Network access happens only when you open browser, SSH, GitHub, updates, or plugins.

Is it open source?

Yes. Cocxy is MIT licensed and the public source can be audited.

Download
