Know what may break<br>before the code changes.<br>Atlas maps your repository into persistent, evidence-backed memory — so you and your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) see likely blast radius before a change, locally, across every session.<br>Download Atlas →See how it works<br>Windows · Free to use · No signup required · Local-first · Your code stays on your machine

03 · Retrieval<br>Your agent asks; Atlas answers with citations.<br>Claude Code, Cursor and Codex request context over MCP. Atlas returns the exact files — cited, ranked, with the reason each was selected.

Capabilities<br>Read your codebase as a graph.<br>Three views of the same indexed repository, each grounded in cited files. No model in the retrieval loop — deterministic lookups against the local index.

01Graph<br>Where behavior lives, why a module matters, which files are involved — read straight off the dependency graph built from your local index.

02Impact<br>The files a change is likely to affect and the dependency paths between them, before you touch a subsystem.

03Debug<br>Start from an error or symptom; Atlas parses the traceback to repo files and symbol spans and returns an investigation path.

Integrations<br>Built for the agents you already use.

Self-measured on one Windows machine against a reference repository, not a random OSS sample. Every number has a reproducible harness in the repo.

Local-first<br>Your repo is indexed on your machine.<br>Atlas scans local files, builds a repository map, and returns cited answers from that local index. It does not upload your repository to a hosted analysis service.

FAQ<br>Before you try it.<br>More questions? Read the full FAQ or contact us.

Do I need an account to download Atlas?No. Download the Windows installer and start locally — there's a guest mode with no signup.<br>Does Atlas replace my AI coding agent?No. Atlas gives Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex a persistent, cited memory of your repository that they can use.<br>Does Atlas upload my source code?No. Repository indexing runs on your machine. You decide what context to send to an agent.<br>How is this different from repeated file search?Atlas builds a dependency graph + evidence store once and restores it in milliseconds across sessions, returning ranked, cited files — not a fresh grep each time.
