Cortex: Less Phone, More Life
Stop Mindless Scrolling
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Cortex stops automatic scrolling at the precise moment. Real-time micro-interventions and AI-powered behavioral insights. Turn wasted time into real focus.
Stop opening apps without thinking.
Cortex intercepts reflexive taps the moment they happen, helping you regain control of your attention before the scroll even starts.
WHY CORTEX WORKS
Catch impulses in real time — stop scrolling before it turns into 30 minutes
Build real control — small interventions that actually change behavior
Reduce anxiety — break the loop of constant checking
Improve sleep — fewer late-night scroll sessions
Track real progress — see when you stop yourself, not just screen time
HOW IT WORKS
Cortex places a lightweight intervention over the apps you choose.
When you try to open them, you’ll get a short pause:
a quick visual reset
a simple prompt
a clear choice: stop or continue
Over time, Cortex helps you recognize patterns and regain control automatically.
BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW
You don’t need another productivity app.
You need something that works in the exact moment you’re about to lose control.
Download Cortex, stop your next impulse, and start getting your time back as you deserve.
