Sulguni Cortex Overview & Quick Start

Sulguni Cortex (com.sulguni.cortex) is a native Swift + Metal AI clipboard workspace for macOS 13 Ventura, 14 Sonoma, and 15 Sequoia. Unlike basic clipboard history tools, Cortex turns every ⌘C into an interactive workspace with 5 HUD layouts, a Sequential Paste Stack, an Apple Vision OCR Table Studio, a Local GGUF AI Copilot, and a zero-cloud SQLite FTS5 vault.

5 Interactive HUD Layouts

  1. Stream HUD (⌘⇧V): Edge-to-edge horizontal card stream along the bottom of your screen with Omnibox search, category chips, source app icons, and Quick Paste (⌘1–⌘9).
  2. Bento Grid: Multi-column 2D workspace showing up to 16 rich cards simultaneously with syntax highlighting and entity extraction chips.
  3. GTA Radial Wheel (Hold ⌥V): An 8-sector cursor-centered radial selector — flick your mouse toward any sector and release to paste in under 80ms.
  4. Floating Mini Shelf: Compact always-on-top shelf for dragging snippets, images, and files across full-screen macOS spaces.
  5. Stealth Ghost HUD: Minimal translucent search pill that keeps 50,000+ indexed clips one keystroke away without blocking your code editor.
