Getting started

Install the desktop app and prepare your databases and calculation engine.

Cortex Cowork is the desktop application. These guides cover installation, database access, and calculation engines.

Install

Cowork ships as a native app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Download the latest build for macOS, Windows, or Linux. Install does not require a login; database search and cloud sync do.
