What to expect
Android warns for every app installed outside the Play Store.
These prompts appear for all direct-download apps, including the direct APKs banks publish themselves. They mean “this didn’t come through Google’s store”, not “this app is unsafe”. Here is each screen and exactly what to tap.

Verify before you trust
The fingerprint that cannot be faked.
Every genuine copy of this release has exactly one SHA-256 fingerprint. If a file claiming to be Cortex shows a different one, it did not come from us: delete it and download from this page.

Reading the report: 64 of 65 engines, including Google, Microsoft, Kaspersky and ESET, rate this file clean. One vendor’s generic “potentially unwanted” heuristic flags many direct-download business apps; it is a classification style, not a malware finding, and we have requested its review. We publish the full report rather than hiding it - judge for yourself.
Permissions, in plain words
Only what attendance needs. Nothing else.
Cortex asks for
- Location, while clocked in - for office geofencing. Tracking starts at clock-in and stops at clock-out, with a visible notification the whole time.
- Camera - only for the punch selfie you take yourself.
- Notifications - approvals, payslips, and reminders from your company.
Cortex never requests
- Contacts
- SMS or call logs
- Files and photos on your phone
- Microphone
- Location when you are off shift
Ready when you are.
