Cortex is a system monitor for macOS that replaces Activity Monitor with a clearer view of what your Mac is doing. It groups a thousand system processes into the sixty apps you actually run, keeps thirty days of history, and shows what your Neural Engine and local AI models are doing. Built for developers and AI enthusiasts who need to understand Mac performance without the noise of raw process lists.

Who Cortex is for

• Developers running local AI models who need to monitor Neural Engine and unified memory usage.

• Mac users troubleshooting performance issues and battery drain with thirty days of historical data.

• Teams managing multiple Macs who need to understand what each machine is doing without subscription costs.
