About
Describe once, at the right level.
Memory Atlas gives anyone who holds a fonds — photographer, studio, association, small institution — a professional tool to master their archives intellectually, with the rigor of ISAD(G) and the ease of a real Mac app.
Ecosystem
Two apps, one source of truth per piece of data.
Description belongs to Memory Atlas, file preservation to Obscura Flow. The transfer package links the two.

What guides Memory Atlas.

Context always visible
Breadcrumb, level, reference code, and inherited values are shown everywhere.
Local-first
A repository is a file on your disk; no network dependency.
One source of truth
Description belongs to Memory Atlas, preservation status to Obscura Flow.
One family
The same visual cues and navigation as Obscura Flow.
