About

CORTEX PRISM

Features
Read full description

CORTEX PRISM is the distribution intelligence layer for the CORTEX ecosystem. PRISM is not random posting. PRISM is refraction. One signal in. Every channel out. One voice. The app is designed to organize source signals, audience selection, platform ready outputs, brand voice controls, draft queues, campaign calendars, approval gates, distribution status, proof assets, and refraction previews. Current release focus: Signal Composer Platform Outputs Campaign Calendar Brand Voice Draft Queue Distribution Status Proof Assets Image Studio shell Approval Gate Audit Trail CORTEX PRISM does not publish live posts in this release. It does not connect social platforms, OAuth accounts, webhooks, or API keys during review. Platform surfaces are draft only and clearly labeled as not connected, OAuth required later, approval required, or connect later.

Orbit brings your whole life onto one dashboard. Instead of hopping between ten apps to see what matters, Orbit overlays your calendar, reminders, health, weather, people, money, and more onto a single Today screen โ€” then surfaces what actually needs you. ONE DASHBOARD, EVERY HORIZON Switch between Today, This Week, This Month, and This Year to see what's coming โ€” an appointment weeks out, a bill due, a birthday โ€” across every area at once. CAPTURE ANYTHING, INSTANTLY One box. Type or dictate, and Orbit's on-device AI files it as a task, note, idea, quote, or person. No folders, no friction. ASK ORBIT A private, on-device assistant that answers from your own data, plus a daily summary of your day. ORBIT NOTICED Insights that connect two parts of your life no single app sees โ€” a birthday during a busy week, poor sleep before a demanding day, a bill due while you're traveling. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE โ€ข Calendar & Reminders โ€” your events and lists, with inline complete โ€ข Health โ€” activity rings, steps, heart rate, and sleep โ€ข Weather โ€” current conditions, forecast, and threshold alerts โ€ข People โ€” birthdays, important dates, and who to reconnect with โ€ข Money โ€” App Store sales, a stock watchlist, a retirement forecast, and bills โ€ข Projects, Content, Travel, Garage, Journal, Library, Email, Deliveries, and more WIDGETS EVERYWHERE One configurable Orbit widget in every size โ€” Home Screen and Lock Screen. Pick what it shows, check off reminders and routines without opening the app, and it follows your theme in Light and Dark. WORKS WITH APPLE Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, Handoff, and interactive widgets โ€” no setup. Just say "Hey Siri, capture in Orbit." BUILT FOR EVERY DEVICE iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV, synced over your private iCloud. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There's no Orbit account and no Orbit server. What you create stays on your device and in your private iCloud. Capture cleanup and Ask Orbit run on-device with Apple Intelligence.
