atlas

An infinite canvas for building an argument as cards and arrows, then flying through it on camera.

  • macOS 14+
  • Apple Silicon

what it does

Made for recording explainers.

  • everything is a card

    A card holds a heading, text, a list, a checklist, a toggle, a picture or code, and can hold other cards.

  • present on camera

    Present flies the camera from card to card along the arrows, and pulls back at each fork, so a branch reads as a branch rather than a jump cut.

  • it lays itself out

    Connected cards hold their place: an arrow leads right, a fork drops into its own lane. A card with no arrows stays where you put it.

how we built it

  • native on the Mac

    A Swift shell around a web canvas, the same shape as Obsidian or Figma. The shell owns the files; the canvas never touches disk.

  • your files, not ours

    Boards are ordinary folders you can open in Finder. Delete the app and your boards are still there.

  • agents can build boards

    An agent describes cards and how they link, with no coordinates, and the app places them.
