Privacy

Atlas runs entirely on your Mac. There’s no account, no sync, and no telemetry.

Where your data lives

Your tasks, subjects and focus sessions live in a local SQLite database, and your notes are plain markdown (.md) files in a folder you control. Nothing is uploaded, and Atlas works fully offline.

No tracking

Atlas collects no analytics and sends no usage data. There are no accounts to create and nothing to log in to.

When Atlas reaches the network

Only when you ask it to, and only for what you set up:

• Calendar feeds — if you add a TimeEdit iCal subscription, Atlas fetches that URL to refresh your events.
• Apple Calendar — reading and writing happens locally through macOS EventKit, after you grant calendar permission. It stays on your device.
• Ingest cleanup — file conversion, OCR and audio transcription run on-device. If you choose to tidy a document with a cloud model (Anthropic), that text is sent to that provider for that run only — and you pick the model each time, or use a local model instead.

No ads

Atlas is a personal tool. It shows no ads and sells no data.
