Your Desktop.
Organized in a flash.
Cortility is your productivity hub for Windows. Organize apps, files and workflows in the Dashboard and use built-in voice input, OCR text recognition and QuickShare – all in one app.
Everything your desktop needs
One tool instead of many. Cortility combines the most important productivity features in one lightweight app.
Dashboard
Organize apps, files and folders in freely configurable groups and launch entire workflows with a single click.
Learn more →Voice Input
Dictate text into any application. Local processing with Whisper — your voice never leaves your computer.
Learn more →QuickShare
Share texts, files and images between your devices on the local network. No cloud account needed, everything stays in your Wi-Fi.
Learn more →OCR Text Recognition
Select a screen area and Cortility recognizes the text instantly. German and English, even from images and PDFs.
Learn more →Dashboard — your desktop, your rules
Organize your apps, files and folders in freely configurable tile groups — your desktop, your system.
Launch Entire Work Environments
Complete work environments: launch multiple programs at once. Your morning setup (email, browser, Teams) in a single tile.
Everything Perfectly Organized
Group tiles into named categories. Drag & drop them into the right order. Empty groups clean themselves up.
Design Your Dashboard
Over 100 Material Design icons with live preview. Color, size and background of each tile individually customizable — from extra-small to extra-large.
Add Apps and Files in a Snap
Right-click a file or folder in Windows Explorer → “Pin to Cortility”. Done. Also supports drag & drop directly onto the tile surface.
Always at Your Fingertips
Alt+Q opens Cortility instantly at your mouse position — no matter which app you're in. A real advantage with multi-monitor setups: no mouse journey to the Start menu. Built-in search finds your tiles in seconds.
Terminals for Developers
Launch PowerShell, Bash, Git Bash or Python with predefined arguments and working directory. Your terminal, your workflow.
Your Recent Files
An optional panel shows your recently opened files — sorted by recency, always at hand.
Flexible Layout
Extra-small, small, large, extra-large — each tile adapts to your layout. Mix sizes freely within a group.
Voice Input — reimagined
Dictate text into any application. Local processing — your voice never leaves your computer. And that's just the beginning.
Flexible Hotkey
Three modes: Toggle, Hold (push-to-talk) or Auto (detects short tap vs. long press). Works system-wide in any application.
Two Engines, One Choice
Whisper (OpenAI) and Parakeet V3 (NVIDIA) as local engines. Both completely offline. GPU acceleration via DirectML, CUDA or Vulkan.
Text Appears as You Speak
Streaming mode: text is inserted live while you speak. Voice Activity Detection (VAD) recognizes pauses automatically.
Your Vocabulary
Personal Dictionary: proper names, technical terms and company names recognized correctly through context hints and automatic alias correction.
Automatic Text Formatting
Regex post-processing: custom rules transform text automatically. Standard rules for DE/EN/ES pre-installed.
Speaks Your Language
Automatic language detection or manual selection from 16 languages.
Always in the Picture
Subtle overlay shows live status: recording, transcription, duration and engine. Never steals focus.
Hear the Difference
Audio feedback confirms start and stop of recording.
Will it run on your machine?
Three clicks in the Self-Check — and you'll know which engine, which model and which acceleration path fits your machine.
HTTP or HTTPS — which should you pick?
HTTPS unlocks one-click image copying but adds a one-time browser warning per device. When the trade-off is worth it — and how to dismiss the warning.
OCR Text Recognition — faster than typing
Select a screen area and Cortility recognizes the text instantly — faster than typing, more accurate than guessing.
Screen Becomes Text
Draw a frame over any screen content — text from screenshots, presentations, images or PDFs goes straight to your clipboard.
Multi-Monitor Screenshots
Capture any area across all screens — even spanning multiple monitors. Something the Windows Snipping Tool can't do. Works for screenshots and OCR recognition alike.
German & English
Tesseract 5 with LSTM recognition for German and English. Optimized for both languages simultaneously — even with mixed texts.
Smart Image Processing
Six configurable stages prepare the image before recognition: scaling, grayscale, noise reduction, contrast enhancement, sharpening and black-and-white conversion.
Tiny Text? No Problem
Automatic upscaling (up to 3×) makes even the smallest text in screenshots readable — before recognition starts.
Custom Contrast
Adjust contrast strength and binarization threshold until even difficult templates are recognized perfectly.
Straight to Clipboard
Recognized text goes straight to your clipboard — Ctrl+V and keep working. No saving, no exporting.
Screenshot Editor
Every image screenshot opens in the built-in editor: pen, highlighter, eraser, free crop with eight handles, undo/redo — then save, copy, or share via QuickShare.
Toast notification
After each screenshot a Windows notification shows the result with a preview and action buttons (Edit, Copy, Save as). No workflow break.
Global hotkeys
Ctrl+Alt+S for image screenshots, Ctrl+Alt+T for OCR — from any app. Fully customisable in settings, or turn them off entirely.
