Cortex 1.4.0
Cortex 1.4.0
A monitoring release: a new Environment page that maps your installed toolchain, live usage for Cursor and Antigravity alongside Claude, a menu bar you can tune with per-model weekly windows, and a faster, lighter session-parsing engine.
New
-
Environment - your installed toolchain at a glance. A new page scans your machine for the developer CLIs and runtimes you have installed, resolved through your real login-shell PATH so version-manager installs are found. Tools are grouped by category with their version, install source, and last-used time, plus search, source and sort filters, and optional on-device summaries. Anything not in the built-in catalog still shows up under Uncatalogued.
-
Live usage for Cursor and Antigravity. The Usage page and the menu bar now track Cursor and Antigravity beside Claude and Codex. Antigravity reads its live per-window quota straight from the local language server (no token or sign-in needed) and appears whenever it is installed, with a hint that usage shows up once you start sending it messages.
-
A menu bar you can tune. Choose which providers appear in the dropdown panel (Codex, Cursor, Antigravity; Claude always shows and at least one stays enabled), and the panel now lists every window a provider reports, including per-model weekly limits like Fable and Claude Design.
Improved
- Usage page. Only the providers you actually have appear, with the rest noted and a clean empty state when there are none. Every limit shows used and left with both a countdown and a reset date, and the Home usage card lists every window Claude reports rather than just Session and Weekly.
- Faster, lighter session parsing. Transcripts stream line-by-line instead of loading whole, and unchanged files are reused across scans, cutting peak memory and rescan time sharply on large histories.
- Reliability. Rate-limit responses back off instead of fast-retrying, so a limit can no longer feed on itself, and every external tool the app runs (version and help probes) is bounded by a watchdog so a misbehaving binary can never hang a scan.
- Library. Empty pages read as intentional zero-data states instead of blank panes.
Notes
- Built from source; the attached
Cortex.dmgis unsigned (no Apple Developer ID). On first launch, right-click the app and choose Open to get past Gatekeeper. Requires macOS 15+.
