AURA is the Atmos Upkeep Regulation Assistant, built for owners and regulators who need to know whether a Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos is running fast or slow after service. Photograph the dial (or pick a photo), confirm the reading, and AURA stores dial time against real time. Over a regulation session you’ll see rate deviation on a chart, with average and median rates so outliers don’t hide the real story. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add each Atmos clock (model, calibre, serial, optional photo). 2. Start a regulation session when you set the clock to time or change the regulator. 3. Capture dial readings with the camera or Photos. Cloud AI proposes the dial time; you confirm before it’s saved. 4. Watch the session chart and reading list as rate improves or drifts. FEATURES • Clock profiles with curated Atmos models and serial dating cues • Regulation sessions with color accents, notes, reminders, and amplitude • AI-assisted dial reading (your OpenAI API key) plus manual entry • Rate charts with absolute/relative axes and s/day, min/day, s/mo, min/mo units • Average and median rate summary (two or more readings) • Fast / on-time / slow color coding for deviations • Export and import clocks, sessions, readings, and photos • Optional studio-style cleanup for catalog photos WHO IT’S FOR Atmos collectors, watchmakers, and anyone regulating torsion-pendulum clocks who wants measurable progress not guesswork from a notebook. REQUIREMENTS Dial AI reading needs an OpenAI API key entered in Settings. Photos used for AI reading are sent to OpenAI for processing. Clock data is stored on your device; you can export backups to Files / iCloud Drive.
