Atlas: Write. Collect. Publish.

Your creative workspace for ambitious projects.

Atlas is where complex writing projects come together. Draft your novel, organize your research, outline your world, or build a personal knowledge base—all with tools designed for deep world-building and serious information gathering. Atlas adapts to how you work, not the other way around.

Everything in One Place

Create projects that mirror how you think. Nest documents and folders to any depth, visualize connections on infinite canvases, sketch with Apple Pencil, and let smart wiki-style links keep everything connected as your project grows. Hierarchical tags tie related documents together, so a character, a source, or a loose thread never gets lost.

Markdown That Works With You

Write with live formatting—headings, emphasis, and lists render as you type, with no separate preview mode. Images appear inline and resize with a drag. Links to other documents stay current when you rename them. Drop in Document Variables like title, author, and dates that fill themselves in. And shape the editor with the built-in theme editor until it feels like home—then share your themes with others.

Collect From Anywhere

Research lives on the web, so Atlas brings it in cleanly. The Web Clipper captures articles as readable Markdown—images, metadata, and all—straight from Safari, and even pulls transcripts from YouTube videos. Snap a photo on your iPhone or share text from any app, and it's waiting in your project.

Think Visually

Drop documents, images, and notes onto large canvases. Sketch maps, place labels, and draw connections between ideas. Arrange research beside your draft, map out story arcs, or build a mood board—and edit any document right on the canvas without breaking your flow.

Syncs Thoughtfully

iCloud keeps your Mac, iPad, and iPhone in perfect sync. Start writing anywhere, continue everywhere. Automatic version history protects every draft, and intelligent conflict resolution merges changes for you—so simultaneous edits across devices simply work.

Publish On Your Terms

When your work is ready for the world, export it your way: polished ePub eBooks with custom chapter breaks, print-ready PDFs down to trade-paperback layouts, clean HTML, RTF, or plain Markdown. A live preview shows exactly what you'll get before you export.

Built for Hard Work and Play

Atlas is a native Mac, iPad, and iPhone app for writers, researchers, and creators tackling ambitious projects. Whether you're writing a novel, world-building, managing academic research, or building a personal wiki, Atlas fits the way you work.
