Cortex Native

Overview

Platform-native desktop and mobile applications providing real-time telemetry, fleet management, and operator approval controls.

Why it exists

Web dashboards often introduce latency, lack OS-level notifications, and require constant browser tabs. Cortex Native delivers dedicated macOS (SwiftUI), Windows (WPF/C#), and iOS applications tailored for zero-overhead operator oversight.

What it does

• Native macOS client built with SwiftUI, supporting live task monitoring, approval queues, and system tray integration.
• Native Windows client built with C# and WPF (.NET 9), providing multi-tab fleet health, service inspectors, and typed control actions.
• Physical iOS client target for on-the-go fleet visibility and critical alert notifications.
• Direct SSE streaming and JSON-RPC communication with local and tailnet bridge endpoints.

Development approach

• Respect native OS paradigms rather than lowest-common-denominator cross-platform wrappers.
• Operator-first safety: approvals require explicit confirmation before sensitive actions execute.
• Honest offline and error states with deterministic reconnection semantics.
• Strict credential encapsulation using platform keychains and isolated credential stores.

Current public state

macOS and Windows clients compiled and verified in daily local operation; physical iOS client deployed and verified on test hardware.
