Inside Atlas

Built for the person who carries the household.

Atlas exists because running a household is real, demanding, invisible work — and most software treats it as an afterthought. We're changing that.

Why we built this

The idea for Atlas came from a simple observation: the tools that help households run — calendars, task apps, note apps, cloud drives — were all designed for individuals, not for families. You end up stitching them together with shared folders, group chats, and, mostly, memory.

The person who carries the mental load of a household ends up being a human middleware layer — triaging emails, remembering due dates, tracking who needs what by when. That work is invisible, unrelenting, and nobody builds software to absorb it.

We wanted to build something that actually helps. Not a louder notification system, not another shared to-do list, but a private, calm workspace that knows your household's rhythms and handles the operational layer so the humans in it can focus on living in their home instead of managing it.

We started building Atlas after one of our founders spent three hours hunting for a dog's vaccination record before a boarding drop-off. That shouldn't be anyone's afternoon.

— The Atlas team

The best household tool is one you forget you're using. Everything is just… handled. That's the standard we hold every feature to.

The Atlas founders

Navi Saini

Co‑Founder & CEO

Navi is a father to a one‑year‑old daughter and a ten‑year‑old Belgian Malinois, and he works full‑time as a Portfolio Manager at J.P. Morgan Asset Management while pursuing his MBA at Columbia Business School, where he is expected to graduate in May 2026. Balancing school, work, and family, he knows firsthand what it feels like to carry competing calendars, deadlines, and responsibilities in his head. Atlas grew out of his conviction that the mental load of running a home shouldn't depend on one exhausted person's memory, but on a calm, reliable system that quietly handles the operational layer so families can focus on each other.

Sonia Saini

Co‑Founder & COO

Sonia is a mother to a one‑year‑old daughter and a Registered Respiratory Therapist. Between hospital shifts, pediatric appointments, managing medications and visits for her grandparents, and running the household day‑to‑day, she understands exactly how relentless modern family logistics can be. Her background in healthcare and her Canadian upbringing have shaped a deep belief that good systems should give people their time back. At Atlas, she brings that lens to every detail—building a household COO that is as dependable and compassionate as the clinicians families trust, and that quietly protects the time they have together.

Our principles
01

Privacy is not a feature — it is the foundation.

We built Atlas so that your household's most personal information — medical histories, financial documents, school records — never becomes a data asset for anyone else. Your data is never sold, never shared with advertisers, and never used to train AI models. It belongs to your household, full stop.

02

The mental load is real, and it falls unevenly.

Research consistently shows that the invisible work of running a household — tracking, remembering, anticipating, coordinating — falls disproportionately on one person. Atlas is designed to absorb that load. Not by gamifying it, not by adding more notifications, but by quietly handling the things that shouldn't require a human brain in the first place.

03

Calm over noise. Depth over breadth.

We deliberately chose not to build a social feature, a marketplace, or a gamification layer. Atlas is a tool, not a platform. It does fewer things than our competitors and does them more thoroughly. A household that uses Atlas should feel less busy, not more engaged.

04

AI that works for you, not instead of you.

Atlas uses AI to surface the right information at the right moment — not to make decisions on your behalf. Red-line safeguards let you define the things Atlas will never touch without your explicit approval. The household organiser stays in control.

How we built it

Every architectural decision in Atlas traces back to one question: does this make the household organiser's life quieter? Four design pillars guided us.

Time-first

Every feature is designed around the reality of a busy household's time budget. Setup is ten minutes or less. Weekly reviews surface in a two-minute digest.

Domain-aware

Atlas is built around the real categories of household life — School, Medical, Pets, Property, Finance — not generic folders or tags that you have to maintain yourself.

Member-level

Every person (and pet) in your household has their own profile, colour, and history. Atlas knows which events belong to whom and organises accordingly.

Encrypted by default

Documents in your Vault are encrypted at rest. We use zero-knowledge architecture where possible so that even we cannot read your household's files.

Privacy in depth

A household management tool by definition handles your most sensitive data — medical records, financial documents, your children's school information. We treat that responsibility seriously.

No model trainingYour household data is never used to train AI models — ours or any third-party provider's.
No advertisingAtlas has no advertising business. Your data is never sold to data brokers or shared with marketers.
Encryption at restAll documents stored in your Vault are encrypted. Even if our servers were compromised, your files would be unreadable.
Export and delete, alwaysYou can export your entire household dataset or delete your account at any time. No friction, no retention dark patterns.
Minimal data collectionWe collect only what is necessary to operate the service. We don't build behavioural profiles or sell insights.
