Your Atlas
Desk answers what's worth doing today. Atlas answers what does the last month of thinking look like?
You only need Atlas once you have a pile of notes, a few ideas, and some work that actually shipped. Until then, ignore it. The map fills in as you capture and connect.
What you're looking at
- The graph - every explicit link you've made (or the desk suggested). Click a node to open it. Filter by type, or by whether you made the edge or the desk did.
- Hubs - the ideas and notes everything else points at. If one idea is the center of everything, you'll see it here.
- Never connected - captured, then left alone. Some of these should become tasks. Some should be archived. A few are gold you forgot.
- Idea funnel - honest counts of Raw through Shipped, plus Paused and Abandoned. Killing ideas is healthy.
- Work & ship - what's stuck in Doing, what's overdue, and releases you shipped without writing what happened after.
The 7 / 30 / 90 day toggle zooms the activity counts and the graph's recent edges. The funnel and isolates are the current shape of the desk, not just this window.
Basic vs Pro
Atlas itself is on Basic and Pro. Free keeps Daily Brief on Desk - today's picture - plus a locked teaser so you know the map exists.
Pro adds a semantic layer on top of the links you made:
- Clusters - notes that mean the same thing, even if you never connected them.
- Similar, not connected - one-click link for pairs the embeddings think belong together.
- Weekly review - a short, grounded write-up of this window. It uses one AI action from your monthly quota.
If the semantic map looks empty, keep capturing. Embeddings land as notes are enriched.
What Atlas is not
It is not Mixpanel. It does not count page views, sessions, or how long you stared at Inbox. It does not compare you to other founders. Every number on this page is your desk, and every card opens a real object.
When to open it
Once a week is plenty. Glance at isolates, write missing ship outcomes, connect one similar pair if Pro suggests it. Then go back to Desk and do the next thing.
The graph is a map. You don't live in a map.
