ATLASComputing Beyond Connectivity.

A portable, modular computing platform built around offline-first tools, a local knowledge library, and AI-assisted workflows.

ATLAS proposed layout v0.3, concept drawingTop view of an open hard-case computer. The lid holds a touchscreen and a narrow status panel with a power switch, indicator lights, a control knob and USB ports. The base holds two expansion bays, a utility area, a compact keyboard and a trackpad.

02 / problem

The network shouldn't determine what you can do.

Connectivity dependence

Most useful tools and reference material assume a reliable connection. In a remote site, a basement plant room, or an outage, they stop being useful.

Fragmented tools

Offline maps, saved documents, local AI and utilities usually live in different apps on different devices, each set up and maintained separately.

Limited control

Cloud-dependent software and sealed hardware decide how your system is used, repaired and kept up to date — often for a recurring fee.

03 / solution

One platform. Useful capabilities. Fewer dependencies.

ATLAS is intended to combine portable hardware with NOMAD, its integrated software, so your reference material, local tools and AI assistance live in one place and keep working offline. The four principles below are design goals, not tested results.

01 · design goal

Offline-first computing

Core workflows designed to remain useful without a network connection.

02 · design goal

Local knowledge

Reference collections and your own documents stored on the device. Content is loaded in advance — it must be on the device before you go offline.

03 · design goal

AI-assisted workflows

Compatible local AI models intended to help you search and work with stored material, with answers pointing back to their sources. Capability depends on hardware and model.

04 · design goal

Modular architecture

An approach that prioritizes repair, replacement and optional expansion over sealed hardware.

04 / nomad

NOMAD. The software behind ATLAS.

NOMAD is the integrated software experience: a library you load before you leave, a local assistant that answers from what's stored and shows its sources, and the tools to manage both. It is under development — the demo below is a simulation.

05 / hardware

Built to adapt. Designed to be maintained.

A clamshell hard case with 3D-printed faceplates. The lid carries the display and a status panel; the base carries the input devices, a utility strip and two swappable expansion bays. Final components are not selected and no specifications have been set.

Layout v0.3 · what's where

  1. Touchscreen

    A 10-inch-class touchscreen in the lid. Exact panel not yet selected.

  2. Status panel

    Master power switch, power / charging / activity / network indicators, a brightness control and USB ports.

  3. Expansion bay A

    Removable cover over an open bay. What goes in it is being defined — the core works without it.

  4. Expansion bay B

    A second bay, same footprint, so modules can move between them.

  5. Utility strip

    Battery status readout, a power button and front-facing ports.

  6. Compact keyboard

    A low-profile keyboard sized to fit the case.

  7. Trackpad

    Beside the keyboard, so it works on a lap or a tailgate.

  8. Printed faceplates

    Every panel is a 3 mm 3D-printed plate on standoffs — replaceable without replacing the case.

  • Replaceable components where practical
  • Standard interfaces where feasible
  • Fully functional core without optional modules
  • Serviceable construction — designed to be opened
  • Optional expansion, not mandatory add-ons
  • A focused first-generation architecture

06 / applications

What would you use ATLAS for?

Pick the closest fit. These are possible uses we're evaluating, not tested claims.

07 / format

How would you want ATLAS delivered?

We're evaluating three formats. None is confirmed for release — each has very different costs to build and support, so your answer directly affects what gets made.
Preferred format

08 / roadmap

Help shape the first release.

ATLAS is in active development. There's no release date yet — and we won't publish one until there's a tested prototype to back it.
