Cortex 1.2.0

The biggest update yet: a time machine for every file Claude touched, one-tap workspace cleanup, full git + session diffs, and a top-to-bottom polish pass.

New

  • Snapshots - a time machine for every file Claude edited. Claude Code quietly backs up every file it touches under ~/.claude/file-history, hashed and unreadable. Cortex resolves those hashes back to real paths, gathers every saved version of a file across all your sessions into one timeline, and shows a colored diff of any version against the current file or the one before it. Open any past version read-only - nothing is ever written back to disk.

  • Hygiene - find and fix workspace cruft in one tap. A live scan surfaces what's quietly rotting: committed or unignored .env/secret files, dev servers still holding ports, stale branches, forgotten stashes, repos diverged from their remote, dead directories, and uncommitted work. Each finding comes with a confirmed one-tap fix - kill the process, delete the branch (with Undo), drop the stash, fast-forward pull, move to Trash - or a reveal for read-only items. Your Health & Security scores come from the same scan, so fixing things actually moves the number.

  • Diffs - see exactly what changed. A working-tree browser lists every repo with uncommitted changes; pick one for its changed files, expand a file for its colored git diff (loaded lazily; untracked and binaries handled). A By Session tab shows which sessions changed which files, each expandable to its diff, with one-click Replay.

  • Sessions & Replay - understand how the work happened. Sessions now carry codenames and AI-generated titles, a "Where You Run" breakdown (CLI / desktop / SDK), and a Skills & Tools panel that ranks the skills, MCP tools, plugins, and subagents that actually drove each session. Replay gains full-text search with match navigation and a hover-scrubbable timeline minimap.

  • Repos - All / Local / GitHub, at a glance. A merged All tab pairs each local clone with its GitHub repo by exact owner/name, beside dedicated Local and GitHub tabs. A health strip up top (Dirty / Behind / Ahead / CLAUDE.md / skills) and per-row dirty dots show you where the mess is.

Improved

  • App-wide feel. Every page cross-fades and scales in, list pages load skeleton-first then crossfade to content, bars and charts animate up from zero, the sidebar toggle is instant, and there's a pointer cursor on everything you can click.
  • Home. A redesigned dashboard with AI-stack cards, a GitHub-style activity heatmap, and faceted (multi-select) project tables that deep-link straight into Repos. The Contributions stat now matches your GitHub profile graph exactly.
  • On-device AI summaries. Session summaries default to Apple Intelligence: on-device, private, and no spawned Claude sessions. Engine choice lives in onboarding.
  • Settings & Costs. The Setup pane moved into Settings, and the Costs page gained a "how this is calculated" explainer popover.
  • Menu bar. Per-session and workflow live activity, plus a completion chime when a run finishes.

Notes

  • Built from source; the attached Cortex.dmg is unsigned (no Apple Developer ID). On first launch, right-click the app -> Open to get past Gatekeeper. Requires macOS 15+.
