Glowing cyan knowledge graph of connected nodes

The system is the product.

Notes are not files in a drawer. They are nodes in a living map that rewrites its own edges as your thinking changes.

  • Live graph

    Every note is a node. Links light up when a new idea touches an old one.

  • Context pull

    Open a topic and Cortex gathers the surrounding trail you wrote months ago.

  • Semantic recall

    Query the way you think. Results rank by meaning, not keyword overlap.

  • Private by default

    Encrypt at rest on device. Sync is optional, explicit, and revocable.

Protocol

Ingest

Markdown, voice memos, and browser clips land in one inbox with stable IDs.

Link

Embeddings propose edges. You confirm, reject, or let the graph stay sparse.

Traverse

Walk from any note into neighbors, backlinks, and the original source trail.

Boot a private graph on your machine.

Free for personal libraries. Local storage first. Export is a folder of plain Markdown.
