It runs models on the machine -- either through Ollama or by loading a local .gguf file with its own managed llama.cpp runtime -- keeps conversations and memory in local storage, and presents the React/TypeScript interface inside a Python-owned pywebview/WebView2 window. The normal launcher owns the backend, native window, and any development frontend process; Cortex does not open the user's installed browser. Current workspace The interface is deliberately small: a chat library, a focused transcript, a composer with a local model picker, and settings for model, memory, appearance, and execution controls. Every response carries its own footer -- timestamp, token count, and tokens per second -- with copy, regenerate, and fork controls that appear on hover. Settings keep model selection and generation defaults in one place, and the chat model doubles as the title model so there is only one choice to make: Ctrl / Cmd + K opens a command palette that reaches new chat, settings, theme, model switching, and recent conversations without leaving the keyboard: The application in these images is the real build. The conversations are a fixed demo workspace defined in tools/screenshots/demo server.py -- no model is contacted during a capture, so the images can be regenerated byte for byte with ./tools/screenshots/capture.ps1 .
