v0.1.1 Windows Local-first

Atlas

A second brain that shows its work.

Habits, tasks, journal, notes and focus sessions, kept in one file on your own machine. Atlas reads months of that history and tells you what it actually supports — with the arithmetic printed underneath, so you can disagree with it.

01 Evidence

Every claim carries its receipt.

Most trackers hand you a number and expect you to trust it. Atlas writes the sentence and then prints the counts it came from, because an insight you can't check is just a mood. When the history behind a claim is too thin, Atlas leaves the claim out rather than softening it.

Insight

You finish Gym far more often on days you slept over seven hours.

slept > 7h 17 of 21 days 81% slept ≤ 7h 9 of 27 days 33% lift 2.4× · 48 days observed

Withheld

Not enough evidence yet.

Reading 4 days logged needed 14 days to compare against

You'll see this instead of a confident sentence built on four days. It's the same rule everywhere: thin evidence is omitted, not dressed up.

02 Inside

One app for the whole record.

Atlas is a real desktop application — a tray icon, a global hotkey, native notifications, and a single installer that carries everything it needs.

Keep

  • Habits and streaksDaily, weekly, monthly or custom schedules, with the streak maths shown.
  • Tasks and projectsA board that remembers what you finished, not just what's left.
  • Journal and notesPlain Markdown, synced two ways with an Obsidian vault if you keep one.
  • Focus sessionsA deep-work timer that survives a throttled tab and logs distractions.

Understand

  • Life Score and weekly reviewA written recap of your week against the one before it.
  • Behaviour profileWhen you actually work, which days hold, how long your runs last.
  • PredictionsWhich streaks are about to break, and a burnout signal with its formula in the open.
  • What-if simulatorMove sleep, energy or timing and watch the forecast move with it.

Do

  • Quick captureType gym tomorrow 7am !high and get a task. Offline, no parsing service.
  • Today's planMorning, afternoon and evening blocks, shakiest item first, each with its reason.
  • AI CoachGrounded in your own numbers. Offline by default, or bring a key — or run it through Ollama so nothing leaves the machine.
  • ExportEncrypted backups, and seven CSV sheets you can open in a spreadsheet.

03 Terms

Your data never leaves unless you carry it out.

Atlas has no server to talk to. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing phoning home, and no plan to sell you later.

  • A SQLite file in your own AppData folder. Back it up, copy it to another machine, or delete it. It's a file.
  • No telemetry, no analytics, no accounts on anyone's server. The optional sign-in is a lock on your own machine, not a service.
  • History is kept, not quietly trimmed. Habit logs, journal entries and past analytics stay until you remove them yourself.
  • The AI Coach is off until you turn it on. Offline it composes answers from your own numbers. Point it at Ollama and it stays that way.

04 Install

Three minutes, no terminal.

  1. Download the installer.

    The button opens the latest release on GitHub. Take atlas_setup.exe — 80 MB, and it carries its own backend, so there's no Python or Node to install.

  2. Expect a SmartScreen warning.

    The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows will caution you about an unrecognised app. Choose More info then Run anyway. You can verify the download against the SHA-256 digest on the release page.

  3. Run it.

    It installs for your user only, so there's no administrator prompt, and it works offline. Launch from the desktop icon or press Ctrl + Shift + A anywhere. Closing the window parks Atlas in the tray; quit properly from the tray menu.

05 Get it

Start keeping the record.

Windows only for now. macOS and Linux builds aren't available yet — the app is built with Tauri, so they're possible, just not packaged.
