The Atlas user guide
Twenty pages on setting up, using each tool, backing up and moving to a new device. Save it or print it.
Six questions. One tool each.
The things that feel impossible to hold in your head all at once.
Where am I, and what needs me first?
Pick your phase. Your next step, tasks and scripts change to match where you actually are.
Open Today → WeekWhat does the week look like?
Custody, handovers, meals and routines, so the week stops living in your head.
Open Week → MoneyWhat money do I actually have?
Map what comes in, what goes out and what’s left. No spreadsheet skills needed.
Open Money → RecordsWhat happened, and when?
Payments, incidents, messages and changes, dated in one place. Print a clean PDF when someone official asks.
Open Records → AdminWhat admin can’t slip?
Documents, accounts, school, medical and legal tasks that get expensive when they’re missed.
Open Admin → GoalsWhat am I rebuilding toward?
Goals, routines and next actions for when you’re ready to look forward.
Open Goals →Ten minutes, once a week.
Done consistently, this turns Atlas from an app into a habit.
