Atlas: Collect and Write Your Story
# Your creative workspace for ambitious projects.
Atlas is where complex writing projects come together. Draft your story, organize research, write your chapters, or even just build a knowledge base with tools designed for deep world-build and information gathering. Atlas is a tool to work how you need.
# Everything in One Place
Create workspaces and projects that mirror how you think. Nest documents and folders, use canvases to visualize connections, sketch documents with Apple Pencil, and let smart linking keep everything connected as your project evolves. Tags help you cut documents together so a character can never get lost.
# Markdown That Works With You
Write with live formatting—headings, emphasis, and lists render as you type. Images appear inline and can be resized freely. Links to other documents stay current when you rename them. Customize editor themes using the theme editor until it feels like home and share with others.
# Think Visually
Drop documents, images, and notes onto large canvases. Sketch maps and place labels on them. Arrange research next to your draft, connect map story arcs, build mood boards: edit anything directly on the canvas without breaking your flow because of a rigid tool.
# Sync Without Thinking
iCloud keeps your Mac, iPad, and iPhone in perfect sync. Start writing anywhere, continue everywhere. Automatic version history protects your work, and intelligent conflict resolution handles the rest. Find something that inspires on the go? Snap a photo and add it to your project on iPhone and pick it up on your Mac.
# Built for Hard Work or Hard Play
Atlas is a native Mac and iPad app designed 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 adapts to how you work. When ready, create ebooks, PDFs, HTML webpages—whatever you need to put your work into the world.
