For university students · macOS
Atlas keeps your lecture notes, course material, timetable and focus time in one window — running entirely on your Mac, with nothing to sign up for.
Write notes in plain markdown and read them back fully rendered — equations typeset with real math (KaTeX), syntax-highlighted code blocks and proper tables, all offline. Exactly what STEM courses need, and your notes stay as .md files you own.
Drag in lecture PDFs, slides, photos of the whiteboard or a recording of the seminar. Atlas converts documents to markdown, reads images with on-device OCR and transcribes audio on-device — so the reading list becomes notes you can actually search and link.
Subscribe to your university timetable as a calendar feed (ICS) and it refreshes itself, so every lecture and lab lands on the same weekly grid as your own tasks. No copying class times across by hand each term.
See the whole week — classes, deadlines and to-dos — on one grid, then start a Pomodoro session bound to a task. Every finished session is logged onto the grid and rolls into your weekly focus metrics, so you can look back on where the hours actually went.
Every [[wiki-link]], tag and mention you write becomes an edge in a graph of
your notes, subjects and tasks — so a whole course connects up as you go, and revision is
just following the threads. See the graph →
