Your paperwork, filed and findable.

Atlas is a filing cabinet for real life. Drop in a bill, a rego renewal, a policy or a receipt, and it reads them, files them, remembers the dates and answers questions about them. All on your own computer.

Free. No account, no subscription, no telemetry.

Why Atlas

Not another cloud drive.

A folder full of scans is storage, not filing. Atlas understands what a document is, what it belongs to and when it matters, without ever sending it anywhere.

It stays on your computer

Your vault, database and index live in one folder on your machine. There is no account, no sync and no telemetry. Atlas works with the network cable pulled out.

It reads scans, offline

Photographs and scanned PDFs go through OCR bundled inside the app. Nothing is uploaded to a recognition service, and it still works on a plane.

It knows what things belong to

Documents attach to the things in your life: a car, a house, a policy, a person. Ask for everything about the Corolla and you get the rego, the insurance and the service invoices.

It remembers the dates

Expiry and due dates found in your documents become reminders automatically, with sensible lead times. A passport warns you six weeks out, not the day it lapses.

It groups what repeats

Twelve rent receipts become one series with a cadence, a typical cost and a projected next arrival. Your gym receipts stay a separate series, because they are a separate thing.

It adds up what recurs

Subscriptions and memberships carry a cost and a billing cycle, so "what do my subscriptions cost me a year?" is arithmetic rather than a guess. What cannot be counted is named, not hidden.

How it works

From a drawer of paper
to a question you can ask.

Drop it in

Drag files, a folder, a ZIP, or paste from the clipboard. Atlas copies each one into a private vault and skips anything it already has, by content rather than by filename.

It reads and files

Text is extracted, scans are read by OCR, and dates, amounts, ABNs, policy and serial numbers are pulled out. Atlas suggests a life area; you confirm with one click.

It connects

A document quoting your VIN attaches itself to that vehicle. Softer hunches are offered as suggestions with a reason attached, never applied behind your back.

It reminds you

Dates become reminders with desktop notifications, and publish to a calendar file your phone subscribes to, so a renewal still reaches you with the PC switched off.

Ask, and check the answer

"When does my car insurance expire?" is answered from the fields Atlas already read, instantly and offline, and it cites the document it came from. When it does not know, it says so.

AI is optional, and off

You can escalate an open-ended question to Claude using your own API key. Atlas shows exactly which excerpts would be sent and what it costs, and asks every time. It is off until you turn it on.

Your data stays yours

One-file backups, restore, and export to plain folders grouped by category. Optional encryption at rest. Uninstalling never touches your documents.

Price

Free.

Atlas is finished and in daily use. There is no payment, no licence check and no account in it. Download it, use it, keep whatever you file.

If a paid version ever follows, the copy you already installed keeps working. Nothing is switched off remotely, and your documents were never held anywhere we could reach.

Questions

The things worth asking.

Does anything leave my computer?

No, unless you deliberately turn on the optional Claude answers and approve an individual request. Import, OCR, search, reminders, the Life Graph and ordinary Ask answers are all local. There is no analytics, no crash reporting and no account.

Windows warns me the publisher is unknown. Is that expected?

Yes, for the direct download. The installer is not code-signed yet, and a certificate costs several hundred dollars a year, so SmartScreen shows a warning. Choose "More info" then "Run anyway", and check the SHA-256 on this page against your download if you want certainty. The Microsoft Store release is signed by Microsoft and does not show the warning.

Where does Atlas keep my files?

In one folder under your Windows user profile: the content-addressed vault, the database and the logs. Back that folder up and you have backed up everything. Atlas also writes single-file backups on a schedule you choose, into a folder you pick.

What happens if I uninstall it?

Your documents stay exactly where they are. The uninstaller removes the application and nothing else, and that is true of both the direct download and the Microsoft Store build.

Can I get my documents back out?

Yes, and without Atlas running. Export writes plain copies of every file into ordinary folders grouped by category. Your originals were never modified, only copied in.

Is it only for Australian paperwork?

It works anywhere, but the field extraction is tuned for Australia first: ABN and ACN are validated with real checksums, and dates are read day-first. Other regions still get text extraction, search, filing, reminders and the Life Graph, with less structured extraction for now.

Does it work on Mac or Linux?

Not yet. Both are configured in the build but neither is built or tested, so shipping one would be a promise Atlas cannot keep. Windows is the supported platform today.
