Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Atlas is MIT-licensed. Models run on the free tiers of your own keys, and paid keys work too.

Which OS does it run on?

Windows, macOS and Linux with Node.js 22+. On Windows, agents install with native commands where available.

Where are my keys stored?

Only on your machine, in ~/.the-atlas/config.json. Each key is sent only to its own provider.

What about privacy?

No telemetry and no Atlas server. Requests go straight from your terminal to the provider you chose.
