Eleven live panels on one screen, no alt-tab

A twelve-column grid you drag into shape, and tiles that follow each other by colour: click a country on the globe, and the feed and the dossier beside it move with it.

What it is

The cockpit is a tileable desktop workspace. You drop panels onto a twelve-column grid, drag a header to move a tile and an edge to resize it, and the layout snaps when you let go. Five of the eleven panel types are the real route embedded whole, so the feed tile keeps the same search operators, the same reading drawer and the same watchlist as the full feed page.

It exists because watching the wire across browser tabs loses the one thing that matters: what happened on the other screen while you were reading this one. A tab you cannot see is not monitoring. Here the globe keeps pulsing beside the feed, the radar keeps counting while you read a dossier, and nothing has to be brought back into view to stay current.

It is built for the person who works the wire all day from one desk: an editor holding four beats at once, an analyst watching an issuer and its peers through an earnings season, an agency lead keeping one tile per client. If you check in twice a day from a laptop on a train, the live feed on your phone is the better surface, and the cockpit says so itself instead of rendering badly.

What it does
WORKSPACE

Eleven panel types

Globe, feed, brief, insights, watchlist, alerts, radar, dossier, markets, calendar and chat, catalogued in four groups so you add a tile by intent instead of scanning a flat list.

GRID

Twelve columns you drag

Drag a header to move a tile, an edge or the corner to resize; it snaps on release and never drops below three columns by three rows. Collapse, maximize (Esc restores), rename on double-click, close.

LINK

Colour channels A, B and C

Tag two tiles the same colour and a click on a country, a query or a whole scope in one moves the other. The bus is the browser's own, so it crosses the panel frames and separate tabs alike.

CONFIG

A tile pinned to one subject

The gear on each header scopes that instance: a feed tile fixed to one query, a dossier pinned to one issuer, a globe opened on one country. A report you run becomes a monitor you keep open.

COCKPIT

Type it, don't hunt for it

Press ` anywhere in the app and type SUBJECT then FUNCTION: AAPL DES, FRANCE WHY, BRIEF tech 24h. HELP prints the full library, Cmd-K opens the palette, Alt-4 lands here from any view.

LAYOUTS

Six geometries, four presets

Start from a slot layout of three to ten tiles and assign an app per slot, or take a preset: morning briefing, markets watch, breaking news, newsroom. Applying one replaces the board, with undo.

How it works
01 · Pick a geometry

Open the cockpit and choose a slot layout of three to ten tiles, or apply one of the four presets.

02 · Fill the slots

Assign a panel to each slot from the catalog, scope the ones that need it with the gear, and name the view.

03 · Link, then lock

Give two tiles the same colour so a click in one moves the other, then lock the layout so nothing shifts under your pointer.

What it does not do

The cockpit is desktop-only, and below 1280 px the twelve-column grid reflows to a fixed two-column stack; on a phone the client never mounts at all and the live feed opens instead. A layout stays in the browser you built it in — no export, no shareable layout link, and no shared workspace on the plan you can buy today. The markets tile counts ticker mentions as they cross; it does not quote prices.

Frequently asked
Does my layout follow me to another computer?+
Partly. Layouts save in the browser you build them in and are mirrored to your account, but the mirror is best-effort: a change made in the second before you close the tab can fail to leave the browser. On a new machine, expect to rebuild — a preset or the wizard does it in one click.
Can I share a cockpit with my team?+
No. One seat, one cockpit: there is no export, no layout URL and no shared workspace on the self-serve plan. A preset gets a colleague to the same board in one click, and each of you keeps your own arrangement after that.
Is a panel the real page, or a summary widget?+
Five of the eleven — feed, globe, brief, radar and dossier — are the full route embedded, so the feed tile keeps its search operators, its reading drawer and its watchlist. Those are real page loads, which is why a tile fetches nothing until it is on screen and the browser is idle.
