Why Cortex

Built for the speed of thought

Zero context switching
Share without opening a new tab, copying a URL, or leaving the page. One hold, one slide, done. The fastest sharing experience ever designed.
Radial menu
Muscle memory, not menus
🖼
Image sharing
Hold on any image to share it directly. A rainbow glow highlights exactly what you're sharing.
Add a message
Long-press any slice to add a comment. Character limits enforced automatically per service.
Instant undo
3 seconds to undo any share. No scrambling to delete posts after a misfire.
👥
Share to friends
Target a specific friend's wall or inbox directly from the pie menu — no searching, just share to exactly who you mean.
📁
Save for later
Pocket and Instapaper integration means you can save anything to read later with a single gesture — no bookmarking, no copy-paste.
How it works

Three moves. Done.

Step one
Hold your mouse
Press and hold anywhere on any page for half a second. Works on images, links, text, and full pages. No clicking around.
Step two
Slide to a network
A radial pie menu blooms from your cursor. Slide toward the network you want — each direction maps to a different service.
Step three
Release & shared
Let go and Cortex shares instantly. A toast notification confirms with an undo option, then disappears after three seconds.
