Amona Cortex™

Talk about a photographic memory.

Every card you offload leaves a record of what was on it, where each copy went, and when. Insert that card an hour later or six months later and Amaptik recognizes it.

No project open. No library to maintain.

Patent pending

Remember

Amaptik remembers every file it ever proved — and tells you before you press GO.

Four cards on the desk.
None labeled. It’s 2 a.m.

You shoot. You come home. You have footage. Then comes the invisible tax.

Then come back tomorrow and do it all again. Which one did you already copy?

The app should know. Does yours?

The dangerous moment is the card you already used. You copied it last week, then shot more. Amaptik can tell you:

Already copied27 of 67 files · July 2

New40 files

You have to remember:

  1. Which card did you just copy?
  2. Did it actually finish?
  3. Did you verify it?
  4. Which drive did you copy it to?
  5. Did the second copy finish?
  6. Did you rename everything?
  7. Did you unwrap that weird camera format?
  8. Did the files go in the right folder?
  9. Did you make a receipt?
  10. Which card is next?
  11. Can you safely format this one?

01

Card Recall.

Drop a card and Amaptik says what it knows: COPIED OCT 14 · 3:12 PM → SHUTTLE-02 · ALL 28 · CONFIRMED 13.

02

Destination Recall.

Every run leaves a receipt in the job’s Reports folder. Plug the drive into any Mac and Amaptik reads it: ALL 28 ALREADY ON ULTRON 7 — RESUME PROVES THEM. The drive is its own witness.

03

Resume after anything.

Stop a run, pull a cable, lose power: Amaptik remembers every file it had already proven, with the time to the minute. GO picks up the rest. RESUME picks up where it left off, proven from the drive’s own papers.

04

Nothing gets overwritten. Ever.

A-cam writes 0001.MOV. B-cam writes 0001.MOV. The drone writes 0001.MOV. The same file isn’t copied twice. A different file wearing a familiar name is kept separate.

And Amona Cortex never guesses in the reassuring direction. When it isn’t certain, it says so.

One memory. Every Mac.

Amona Cortex™ syncs through your own iCloud, so your laptop and your desktop know the same cards, the same drives and the same history. Nothing to sign in to. Nothing for us to see.

  • Encrypted. Your card history travels encrypted in your own iCloud account; we can’t read it.
  • Off by default. With iCloud sync off, your Cortex history never leaves your Mac. Period. Want every Mac to know what your cards and drives did? Turn on iCloud sync in Settings.

Private by design.

Cortex lives in one file on your Mac. It records file names, sizes, fingerprints, drive names and hardware identity, card identity, capture times and run settings — never a picture, never audio, never a location. It does note each Mac’s name, which is often a person’s name.

What Cortex is not.

  • Not the evidence. The receipts on your drives are the proof. Cortex is the index. Lose the Mac and you lose convenience, not proof.
  • Not a cloud. Nothing goes to an Amona server.
  • Not a guess. And Amona Cortex never guesses in the reassuring direction. When it isn’t certain, it says so.

Try it on your own footage.

Download, open, insert a card. The trial starts when you do — six cards, no card details, nothing switched off.

Requires macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon.
