100%
Your machine, your files

Copilot runs locally. Files your routine generates stay in your workspace. Only task status and terminal output are relayed.

Flexible scheduling

Hourly, daily, weekdays only, weekly, or a custom cron expression. The scheduler runs in CTRL NODE's cloud and wakes your Bridge on time — even if you've closed your laptop lid.

Full run history

Every execution is logged — status, timestamps, live output, and the files Copilot produced. View any run in detail from the CTRL NODE app, even on mobile.

File artifacts in workspace

Any file Copilot writes (reports, summaries, generated code) lands directly in your local workspace — git-trackable, ready to commit, exactly where you need it.

Trigger manually anytime

Don't wait for the next scheduled run — hit RUN NOW from the app and Copilot starts immediately. Full history tracks every manual trigger too.
