Cockpit is an open source headless CMS, designed to be lightweight, simple, and flexible. Rather than imposing a presentation, it focuses on content management and makes it available to any front-end via a REST and GraphQL API. You remain free to choose the technologies for your websites, mobile applications, or showcases.

At the heart of Cockpit, you model content with collections, singletons, and an asset manager. Each data model is customizable: custom fields, content relationships, structured media. The admin interface is deliberately streamlined to remain fast and accessible to non-technical contributors.

Its minimalist philosophy makes it an excellent foundation for Jamstack and multi-channel architectures: the same content feeds multiple channels without duplication. Cockpit integrates easily via webhooks and installs without unnecessary overhead, making it a popular choice among developers and editorial teams who want to maintain control over their technical stack.
