@/Anchored
Notes that follow you
Scroll to enter ↓
Pick any open window and a note locks onto it — moving, resizing, hiding, following wherever it goes. Then Atlas, the private AI inside every note, reads what’s on that window and helps you with it — on your machine.
Every sticky note app today is the same: free-floating windows with zero awareness of what you’re actually doing. You switch apps, your notes are left behind.
Switch from VS Code to Chrome? Your notes stay behind. You spend more time hunting for notes than reading them.
Move a window, reposition the note. Resize, reposition again. Minimize, forget where it was. It’s constant babysitting.
Close an app and reopen it? Your note has no idea which window it belonged to. The connection is gone.
Modern note apps eat 200–500MB of RAM and take seconds to start. For text on a screen. @/Anchored runs in ~50MB.
No setup, no configuration, no learning curve. Open the Command Center, pick a window, done.
The Command Center lists your open windows. Click one — a note spawns anchored to it, labeled with its name.
The accent edge glows. The note follows that window as it moves, resizes, minimizes, and comes back — across monitors.
Flip to the Atlas tab. It reads what’s on that window and answers — summarize, explain, draft, in context.
Anchored Text-aware Local Assistant System
Every note carries Atlas — an assistant that reads the actual content of the window it’s anchored to, and helps with exactly what you’re looking at. Runs on a local model, or bring your own Ollama Cloud key for bigger ones.
process_data() returns result without checking it loaded — if load_config() fails it hands back None. Add a guard before the loopReads the window you’ve anchored it to — so it answers about the email, code, or page you’re actually on.
Runs a local model on your machine — offline, nothing sent anywhere. Add an Ollama Cloud key when you want a 600B‑class model.
Answers type out token‑by‑token, with a live in/out token meter in the corner. No spinner, then a wall of text.
Flip on Suggest and Atlas watches the window as you work — when it spots a real issue, a theme‑colored lightbulb pulses. One quiet, high‑value nudge at a time, never a wall of noise.
With your approval, Atlas acts on the window it’s anchored to — fixing its text or pressing its controls — scoped to that one window and previewed before every change. Clean up a draft, repair broken code, or drive an app like a calculator; it never touches anything else.
Captured straight from @/Anchored running on Windows — v0.11.0, today. No marketing renders.
Ask Atlas to draft or fix something and — only after you approve — it writes straight into the window it’s anchored to. Here it drafted a whole story into Notepad.
Switch on Suggest and Atlas quietly watches the window, flagging real issues — like the garbled section it caught in this script — without being asked.
Everything past reading the window is off until you allow it. Each capability is set to Off, Ask, or Allow — revocable anytime, and scoped to a folder you choose.
⚓ Real screen captures from the shipping v0.11.0 build — control, proactive help, and consent, exactly as they run.
Every note re‑skins instantly — pick a theme, flip light or dark, set a per‑note accent. These are the real palettes from the app.
Native to Windows. Starts instantly. Sips RAM. No Electron, no bloat.
Notes remember their window by title. Close the app, reopen it — the note re‑anchors automatically, even waiting for a window that isn’t open yet.
Drag a window to another screen and the note follows seamlessly. Respects taskbars and work areas.
A native core does the anchoring. Starts fast, stays out of your way (~50MB).
Midnight, Foundry, Forest, Crimson, Magenta, Mono — each in full light or dark, with per‑note accents.
Atlas runs on a local model — your window content and notes never leave your machine, unless you deliberately switch to the cloud.
Every keystroke saved instantly. No save button, no data loss. Local-first, atomic, and crash-safe.
VS Code, Chrome, Excel, Notepad, games — if it has a window, @/Anchored can ride it. No app‑specific plugins.
Local Ollama out of the box. Point Atlas at Ollama Cloud or any compatible endpoint with a one‑time key — per‑model routing.
@/Anchored isn’t competing with notes apps. It’s a new category: window companions with an AI that reads the window.
