Atlas is a calm planner for your tasks and your focus. Plan the day, keep every project in its place, then put the phone down and do the work. No ads, no clutter, no noise. AGENDA One day at a time. The week strip at the top opens into the whole month with a tap or a pull. Overdue tasks wait at the top of today, finished ones fold away, and your progress fills in as the day goes. INBOX Everything without a date lands here, so nothing gets lost while you decide. Filter by project, and give things a day when you are ready. PROJECTS Every project gets a card in its own color, with what is open and what is overdue. Tap one to see its tasks, add to it, rename it or delete it. QUICK CAPTURE Type "Call Ana tomorrow at 3pm #Home" and Atlas picks up the day, the time and the project. Or tap the mic and just talk: say a few things in one go, and Atlas turns them into separate tasks and shows them to you before anything is saved. Your speech is transcribed and understood on your iPhone, and the audio is never saved. Works in English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, French and Italian. Tasks have reminders, repeats, subtasks and notes. FOCUS Pick a time on the dial or one of the presets, choose the tasks for the session, and start. The session takes the whole screen, and after a few seconds without a touch the controls fade away, leaving the time and your open tasks. Add a soundscape like rain, ocean or brown noise, and follow along from the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island. When you finish, share your session as an image made for Stories. BLOCK DISTRACTIONS (Premium) Choose the apps and websites that pull you away, and Atlas blocks them for the length of a session. Or block everything except Atlas and the system apps. Set scheduled blocks that work even when Atlas is closed. Blocking uses Apple's Screen Time. BROWSE Your day at a glance: what you finished, the minutes you focused, and Insights with goals and streaks. Lists for Today, Scheduled, Inbox, Overdue, Pinned and Completed. Search across tasks and projects. ALWAYS WITH YOU Widgets for your day and your focus. A morning summary, and a reminder on Sunday evening to plan the week ahead. Reorder the tabs so Atlas opens where you want. Everything syncs to your account, so it is the same on every iPhone you sign in to and on the web at atlasapp.so. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics, and your data is never sold. Voice capture runs on your device. Export your data at any time, or delete your account and everything in it from inside the app. Atlas uses a free account so your tasks can sync. ATLAS PREMIUM Atlas is useful for free, with Focus, sounds and stats included. Premium adds: • App blocking and scheduled blocks • Flow sessions: open-ended focus that counts up until you stop • Two-way sync with Apple Calendar, and your calendar events inside the Agenda • Photos on your tasks Atlas Premium is $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the U.S., with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
