The Mac command center for the Renkara fleet

One hotkey to the whole fleet.

Atlas is a native Mac app that sits above everything else you run. Press a chord, and a Command Bar, a Hover Lens, a Command Rail, or a Focus curtain answers with what the fleet knows. It asks before it writes anything, and it records what it did.

Internal to Renkara. Atlas is a tool Renkara Media Group builds and runs for itself. It is not offered for sale, and there is nothing to buy or join. This site shows what it does and how it is built.

Features

A Mac app that sits above everything else you run

Atlas is a native macOS app (Swift, SwiftUI, and AppKit) paired with a Python daemon called atlasd. Global hotkeys raise a Command Bar, a Hover Lens over any selected text, a Command Rail down the screen edge, and a Focus Mode curtain. Behind them, the daemon talks to the fleet's tools, asks before it writes anything, and records what it did. It is not a launcher: it does not open apps or search files.

Command Bar

⌘⇧Space: type what you want, or paste what you have

01

Nine slash commands

/brief, /task, /meet, /deal, /map, /log, /focus, /note, and /publish go straight to their handlers. /task adds a Slate item, /meet creates a Cadence event, /note saves a Codex page, /publish drafts a Narrative post, and /map charts 90 days of one relationship.

02

A route you can see

Slash commands run directly. Other input is classified (Claude Haiku when an API key is present, keyword rules when not). Allowlisted reads with no arguments go straight to the tool; anything else streams from Claude Opus. The Bar shows which route it took.

03

Confirm before any write

A write pauses on a confirmation card showing what will change. ⌘↩ accepts, Esc declines, and an unanswered card expires after 10 minutes.

04

Cards for what you paste

Paste a trace id, a Chronicle incident id, or a stack trace and the Bar draws the trace as a flame graph. Briefings, relationship maps, outreach batches, link checks, and publish drafts also arrive as cards.

Hover Lens

⌘⇧H: select text anywhere, see what the fleet knows

05

Classifies what you selected

Pattern rules sort the selection into an email address, dollar amount, link, error trace, code, company, date, phone number, person, or plain text. The selection comes from the Accessibility API, with an on-device OCR fallback around the pointer.

06

Briefings from five tools

A person, company, email, or dollar amount fans out across Tribe, Cadence, Courier, Trellis, and Docket. Errors search Chronicle logs, dates search Cadence, phone numbers search Tribe.

07

Relationship graph

For a person or email, the Lens grows a force-directed graph of that contact's network, laid out on the GPU. Drag a contact out to ask the Bar about the relationship.

08

Commitment detection

Select an email and the Lens finds the promises in it, then offers to create a Slate task, a Courier confirmation draft, a Tribe note, and a Trellis draft invoice together, or none of them.

Command Rail

⌘⇧R: live fleet signals down the screen edge

09

Fleet heartbeat

One cluster per fleet tool, 21 in all, breathing with its health. Atlas probes every tool every 60 seconds.

10

Leverage, pipeline, receivables

A 90-day terrain of Fulcrum leverage, an Envoy deal-velocity trace with a one-click batch of follow-up drafts, and a Trellis receivables view with the riskiest invoices first.

11

Audience and ticker

Herald sends set against Pulse visitors, plus a ticker of the last 24 hours of fleet events. The Rail polls once a minute; there is no live push.

Desktop, Focus, and Ledger

Behind the windows and after the work

12

SLO burn and incident room

Chronicle SLO burn glows beneath the desktop icons. A new SEV1 opens a full-screen incident room with a log waterfall, trace, dependencies, on-call, and a draft RCA.

13

Focus Mode

⌃⇧F starts a block of 15 to 240 minutes with a mission and an optional project. A click-through curtain dims the screen. When you end it, a rating and a note become a Meridian time entry, a checked-off Slate task, and a Fulcrum record.

14

My Day

Every Atlas action is logged with its feature, model, cost, and duration. The menu bar shows the day's count and spend. A genome view lays Fulcrum projects against days.

How it works

Summon, route, confirm, record

  1. Summon

    A global hotkey raises the Bar, the Lens, the Rail, the Focus curtain, the briefing, or the Ledger. Nothing needs a browser tab.

  2. Route

    Slash commands run directly. Other input is classified, then either answered by a direct read or streamed from Claude Opus.

  3. Confirm

    Every write to a fleet tool waits on a confirmation card. Multi-record actions create everything or roll everything back.

  4. Record

    Each action lands in My Day with its cost, and is sent to Chronicle as a trace span when an endpoint is configured.

Accessibility

Built so everyone can use Atlas.

Atlas is a native Mac app, so the web standards do not apply to it directly. Here is what it supports today, read from its code, and what nobody has checked yet. We do not claim a conformance level for Atlas.

  • Keyboard operation Partly supported

    Every Atlas surface opens from a global chord (the Bar on Command-Shift-Space, the Lens on Command-Shift-H, the Rail on Command-Shift-R, Focus on Control-Shift-F, and more), confirmation cards take Command-Return and Escape, and Escape closes the incident room. Dictation and a spoken briefing exist too, but they do not replace the keys. No one has walked the whole app using only the keyboard.

  • Screen reader landmarks and labels Partly supported

    A few Rail graphics (the audience view, the receivables aging bar, and the terrain controls) carry spoken summaries. The flame graph, relationship map, force graph, log waterfall, and oscilloscope carry none, so those are not available to a screen reader today. Atlas has not been tested with VoiceOver.

  • Contrast in light and dark Not yet tested

    The contrast of Atlas's palette in light and dark has not been measured. The app also does not read the Increase Contrast or Reduce Transparency settings, and in the Rail's particle and tile graphics color is the main signal.

  • Reduced motion Partly supported

    The Metal visualizations read macOS's Reduce Motion and Low Power Mode settings and drop to a still or draw-on-demand mode. One known gap: the pulse on a critical tile in the SLO burn layer keeps animating under Reduce Motion.

  • Text resize and zoom Not yet tested

    Most text uses the system's semantic text styles rather than fixed point sizes, which is the right foundation for larger text, but Atlas has not been tested at larger text sizes.

  • Mobile and touch Not supported

    Atlas is a Mac app for macOS 14 or later. It has no iPhone or iPad version and no small-screen layout.

  • Local SQLite state (mode 0600, WAL) for command history, cost, and settings
  • A localhost-only diagnostics endpoint
Models and cost
  • Claude Opus for free-form answers, streamed, with a cached system prompt
  • Claude Haiku for classification, and as the fallback at the daily cap
  • Daily cost cap, $5.00 by default: a warning at 80 percent, Haiku at the cap
  • The briefing stays on Opus even at the cap
Fleet integration
  • 21 fleet tools registered, each probed every 60 seconds
  • Plain REST calls to each tool; every route is checked against that tool's real API by a test that fails on an unverified route
  • Per-tool authentication, with optional mutual TLS client certificates
  • A permission guard on every write
Security
  • Account tokens kept in the macOS Keychain, not synced to iCloud
  • OIDC with PKCE in the app's authentication client
  • Keystroke rhythm counts timing only, never which keys
  • OCR images are processed in memory

FAQ

Questions people ask

Can I buy or download Atlas?

No. Atlas is internal to Renkara and is not offered for sale. This site shows what it does and how it is built. Write to contact@renkara.com with questions.

Why are there no screenshots?

Atlas is a native Mac app, and the fleet's screenshot harness captures web apps. The Atlas repo has no capture that is free of real data, and we will not mock a screen, so this site is copy only.

Does Atlas change anything without asking?

No. Every write to a fleet tool waits on a confirmation card showing what will change. An unanswered card expires after 10 minutes, and an action that touches several records either creates everything or rolls everything back.

What does it cost to run?

Atlas logs every action with its model and cost, and the menu bar shows the day's count and spend. A daily cap of $5.00 is the default, with a warning at 80 percent.

Is Atlas accessible?

Parts of it, and we say exactly which on the Accessibility page. Every surface opens from a keyboard chord, and the Metal graphics honor Reduce Motion with one known gap. VoiceOver, contrast, and larger text have not been tested, so we claim no conformance level.
