You've written thousands of notes. Met hundreds of people. Logged years of workouts, meetings, places, and ideas. Somewhere in all of it is the answer to almost any question about your own life — you just can't reach it. Atlas is that reach. It turns everything you know into one explorable world — and keeps the whole world on your iPhone. No servers. No account. No one reading over your shoulder. The only thing Atlas ever downloads is its own brain. ASK YOUR LIFE ANYTHING "What should I know before meeting Sarah tomorrow?" "When did I last change the wifi password?" "How's my training going?" The assistant reads your notes, your calendar, your people, your health — and answers with receipts, citing the exact documents it found. When it finds nothing, it tells you so. No inventions. EVERYTHING YOU SAVE BECOMES TERRITORY Notes, PDFs, photos of documents, exported email — share anything to Atlas from any app, or point it at a folder and let it keep watch. Search is instant, understands meaning as well as keywords, and speaks calendar: "what happened last March" is a real query here. THE MAP DRAWS ITSELF Every person, project, and topic you mention gets connected. The colleague in your contacts, in Tuesday's meeting notes, and in that email thread — Atlas knows they're the same person, and what you know about them travels together. Your life stops being files and starts being a map. WAKE UP BRIEFED Each morning Atlas assembles your day: the meetings ahead, the people in them, and what your own notes say about each one. Walk in already knowing. ATLAS NOTICES WHAT YOU'D MISS Your resting heart rate creeping up. Sleep quietly eroding. A notebook you abandoned a month ago. A calendar invite from someone you haven't seen since spring. Atlas watches your world and taps you on the shoulder. Pin a standing question — "status of the house move?" — and it re-asks on a schedule and flags you when the answer changes. TIME TRAVEL INCLUDED Scroll your whole life day by day — notes, events, workouts, places — in one timeline. "On this day" resurfaces where you were a year ago. YOUR HEALTH, GUARDED LIKE TREASURE Connect Apple Health and ask about workouts, recovery, sleep, training load. The math is transparent and computed on-device — and health data gets the strictest treatment in the app: never in system search, never shared, never leaves. Full stop. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • Siri & Shortcuts: ask, search, and capture from anywhere • A Home Screen widget for on-this-day memories • Your notes in Spotlight (optional) • Voice capture with on-device dictation — audio never leaves your phone • Fully offline after the one-time model download PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE, NOT BY PROMISE Atlas makes exactly one kind of network request: downloading its AI model (about 3 GB, once, over HTTPS). That's it — enforced by automated tests in our build, not a policy page. No analytics, no crash reporters, no cloud. Nobody can leak what nobody has. Atlas runs Google's Gemma open model via LiteRT, entirely on your device. The model needs ~3 GB free space; iPhones with 6 GB+ memory get the best assistant experience. Exploring, searching, and organizing work everywhere — even without the model. Your life is the most interesting dataset you'll ever own. Bring a map.
