Radial menu

Muscle memory, not menus

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.
