Tune how Cortex guides you, manage your data, and control integrations. Everything is stored in your browser — your Torn API key never leaves it except to reach api.torn.com.

Key Torn terms Plain-language explainers for common Torn jargon, grounded only in verified sources. In New Player mode the definitions show inline; otherwise, select a term to reveal it.

Playstyle Focus Balanced highest-ROI move. Re-ranks your action plan to match how you play.
