Atlas provides you with a full creative workspace, housing your research, inspiration, and more alongside your written prose. Store and sync any kind of document, place them on a canvas, and reference them like any other document. Oh, and purchase just once if you like!
An editor that doesn’t lock you into a specific style or font choice but still supports all the features needed to help you focus on your written prose.
Infinite Canvases to layout work on: place cards, labels, images, sketches, and even edit documents directly.
The Web Clipper pulls webpages into Atlas as clean, readable Markdown with article text extracted, images pulled out, the navigation and ads left behind, and lets you choose where it lands and what to keep.
More than just a writing app, Atlas is designed to house all of the content that helps power your projects: research, drafts, images, web-page references, and more.
