Atrium is a calm, single-window cockpit for your terminals and agents. The free tier is the whole
organizing experience — no caps, no nags, nothing held back to force an upgrade. Pro adds the
handful of features a developer who works for a living pays for without thinking hard about it.
Buy Atrium Pro — $39, one-time —
pay once, every 1.x update included forever. Prefer to weigh it first? The full Free vs. Pro
breakdown is right below.
Free
The daily-drivable organizer — everything you need to fall in love with it.
- Projects, panes, and groups
- Liveness, activity, and attention indicators
- Branch + dirty-state chips
- Session restoration + Reload
- Dashboard cards
- Sidebar views (Groups + Worktrees, idle worktrees included)
- Worktree lifecycle (create / remove / prune)
- Diff view + Commit graph
- Home — launchers for your personal agents
- Switcher (navigation)
- Local MCP server for your agents (opt-in)
- Agent catalog + templates + permissions hub
- Script detection
atrium.toml export/import
- Preset themes + light/dark + reduced-motion
- Scrollback search
- Command registry + cheatsheet
- Updater
No caps. No nags. Free is never a crippled trial.
Pro — $39 one-time
Paid once. The license never expires — it’s yours for good, and it’s perpetual per
major version: every 1.x update is included forever, no renewal required. A future 2.0
would be a new purchase, but v1 never gets squeezed. No subscription, ever.
- SSH remote projects — open projects on a remote box
over your own
ssh, reattach to your own tmux sessions; zero credentials stored, ever
- GitHub + Jira, read-only — a per-project
Integration Hub: your PRs with live CI checks and review states, your issues, your Jira
tickets, PR-status chips right in the sidebar — visibility in, never control out
- My Work — one calm view of everything assigned to you across GitHub and Jira
- Background monitoring + notifications — focus-aware desktop notifications, plus calm
alerts when a PR merges, checks flip, or a Jira ticket moves — even stepped away
- Switcher action verbs — do things from the Switcher (add pane, new worktree, restart,
theme…), not just jump to them
- Session-history search — search across past terminal sessions, not just the open one
- Named workspaces — save a worktree’s pane setup, materialize it later in one click
- Worktree runtime vars — e.g.
PORT=${3000+index} across parallel worktrees
Buy Atrium Pro — $39
After checkout your license key arrives by email. Paste it into Settings → License in
the app you already have — Pro unlocks in place. One binary, no separate download, no
reinstall (since 0.13.0).
No. Once you buy Pro, it’s yours — permanently, and so are all the 1.x updates that follow.
There’s nothing to renew for your major version. If Atrium ever ships a 2.0, that would be a new
purchase — but your v1 license keeps working exactly as it does today, forever.
Free is free, forever, with no caps. It’s the same organizing core described above — no feature
countdowns, no locked panes, no “upgrade to unlock” popups. Pro is additive, not a key that
unlocks a crippled app.
No. Atrium has no subscription billing, and never will. You pay once for Pro and get every
1.x update forever — no renewal, no update window, no subscription infrastructure of any kind.
Because Atlassian’s OAuth flow requires one, and Atrium has no server to hide it on — there is
no Atrium backend, by promise. The embedded “secret” is not load-bearing: the actual security
boundary is PKCE plus a localhost-only callback, so extracting the string from the binary gets
you nothing — it can’t read anyone’s Jira data without the user completing Atlassian’s own
consent screen. This is a deliberate, documented trade-off in favor of “no backend, ever,” not
an oversight. (Every API call goes directly from your machine to Atlassian’s; nothing routes
through us — see the privacy policy.)
Atrium sells through Polar, a merchant of record — they handle payment,
tax/VAT, and your license key delivery. The buy button above goes straight to their hosted
checkout; no account with us is created (there is no “us” server to create one on). Your key
arrives by email and stays retrievable in Polar’s customer portal.
