Image Cockpit
dreiachse-cyber
Local GUI for OpenAI Codex image workflows: pixel art, sprite sheets and frame animation via a file inbox/outbox handoff.
What is Image Cockpit?
A local TypeScript workspace that pairs with the Codex CLI for image generation rather than calling any API directly: it writes generation jobs to an inbox folder, Codex picks them up, and results land in an outbox. It covers pixel-art prompting, rectangular-region image edits with annotation, and sprite-sheet plus GIF/WebP animation export, with a procedural PNG fallback when no model result is available.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Runs entirely local; no direct API keys, works through the Codex CLI you already have
- Focused on a real niche (pixel art, sprites, frame animation) rather than generic imagegen
- MIT-licensed and actively released (v0.1.5)
Cons
- Tightly coupled to OpenAI Codex; not a general-purpose image tool
- The file inbox/outbox handoff is clever but more fragile than a direct API
- Early v0.1.x and a new, low-profile owner account

When it is interesting
You drive Codex locally and want a GUI for pixel-art and sprite-sheet iteration.
When it is too early
If you don't use Codex, or want direct model-API image generation.
