Cortex Agent
Your AI agent, running on your Mac.
Cortex Agent is a native macOS app that turns your local claude or codex CLI into a full agent. Chat, connect WhatsApp with a QR code, and schedule recurring tasks — all running on your machine, local-first, with zero token cost by default.
What it does
Zero token cost
Talks to your local claude/codex CLI by default — no cloud API billing.
WhatsApp built in
Pair with a QR code, then send, receive, and automate messages.
Task scheduling
Cron-like automations: ask something every morning, deliver the result anywhere.
Local-first
A Python daemon runs on 127.0.0.1 — your data never leaves the machine by default.
