A rebuilt app, one account, and an assistant that does the work in your vault and only ever with your yes. The largest change since the first beta.
Six things you will notice in the first hour, on every edition.
Rebuilt around the two things you do all day, talking to Cortex and working in your vault, with settings, the dashboard and the library rebuilt around that. The engine that holds your vault carries over unchanged.
Sign in once, across the website and the app. Your account carries what you have paid for, so there is no licence file to install and no key to paste, and a change to your plan reaches the app while it runs.
Cortex can create, append to and move notes, and add a card, a task or a log line. Each one waits on a card showing exactly which files it touches, and one control puts them back afterwards.
Say "remember that" and the fact is kept in a durable profile and read back into every later conversation. Say "from now on" and the rule joins your own instructions file, which Settings shows you.
Sort chats into named workspaces and folders nested up to six levels, and act on several at once. Deleting a workspace never deletes a chat.
Copy your notes to a plain folder you choose, the whole vault or one folder of it. Nothing is converted, nothing in your vault changes, and credentials are left out of the copy.
Sits in the model picker beside your own keys, so who serves a turn is a choice you make per model. A balance and a ledger show what each turn cost, or keep your own key and nothing is metered.
The connectors you have added in one tab, with a check that starts each one and reports what answered, and a curated catalogue to add more from. Any MCP server you already run still works.
Run a turn from a script, CI or cron, and reach your board, notes, sessions and search without opening the app.
Handing an assistant real work is reasonable when you can see what it is about to do and undo it afterwards. That is the whole design.
Tell Cortex what you want done in your vault, in plain words.
Before anything is written, a card shows exactly what it asked for and which files it touches.
Nothing happens until you press Approve. Every approved write is snapshotted first, so one control puts the files back.
The app opens on a sign-in screen and the account is free to create. No card, nothing expires, and it is not a trial. The account is what carries your edition, so moving up later is a change to it and not another download.
There is no download on this site until 2.0 is out. Free comes back on general download with it. Personal is not on sale until then either.
During setup you choose whether to send anonymous usage data, and you can change that at any time in Settings, under Privacy.
The first two are part of Personal and marked as in development on its page.
The release list sends a single message when a version goes out, and nothing else. The roadmap has every piece and how far along it is, and the changelog is where a release date becomes a fact.
