For thinkers who outgrow folders
Your notes,
thinking back.
Cortex links every idea you capture and resurfaces the right note at the moment you need it.
Attention is not a resource to spend. It is a garden to tend. Every note here connects to a decision I made later.

Capture fast. Connect automatically. Retrieve instantly.
No folders to maintain. You write in plain language and Cortex builds the links, so retrieval feels like remembering, not searching.
Write without filing
Dump a thought in two seconds. Cortex reads context, suggests links, and files it where future you will look.
Links form themselves
Bidirectional links and a living graph show how ideas relate, without you drawing a single line by hand.
Ask, do not hunt
Ask a question in plain English. Cortex answers from your notes with citations back to the exact paragraph.
Built for a lifetime of ideas
Daily notes that compound
Morning pages, meeting notes, and half-formed hunches live in one timeline and link forward on their own.
Graph view
See clusters form around projects. Orphan notes surface before they are forgotten, not after.
Resurfacing
The right note, on the right morning.
Cortex brings back relevant notes before meetings and writing sessions, timed to your calendar.
Private by default
Local-first, encrypted sync.
Your brain stays yours. Notes live on your device first and sync end-to-end encrypted.
Import in minutes
Notion, Obsidian, Apple Notes, plain Markdown.
“I stopped re-reading my own notes to find things. Cortex just hands me the paragraph I need while I write.”
