Explainable, recovery-first Mac maintenance workspace.
Atlas for Mac is a native macOS application for people who need to understand why their Mac is slow, full, or disorganized, then take safe and reversible action. The current MVP unifies system overview, Smart Clean, app uninstall workflows, permissions guidance, history, and recovery into a single desktop workspace.
This repository is the working source for the new Atlas for Mac product. Atlas for Mac itself is open source under the MIT License. It remains an independent project and may reuse selected upstream Mole capabilities under the MIT License, but user-facing naming, release materials, and product direction are Atlas-first.
## MVP Modules
- `Overview`
- `Smart Clean`
- `Apps`
- `History`
- `Recovery`
- `Permissions`
- `Settings`
## Product Principles
- Explain recommendations before execution.
- Prefer recovery-backed actions over permanent deletion.
- Keep permission requests least-privilege and contextual.
- Preserve a native macOS app shell with worker and helper boundaries.
- Support `简体中文` and `English`, with `简体中文` as the default app language.

## Repository Layout
- `Apps/` — macOS app target and app-facing entry points
- `Packages/` — shared domain, application, design system, protocol, and feature packages
- `XPC/` — worker service targets
- `Helpers/` — privileged helper targets
- `Testing/` — shared testing support and UI automation repro targets
- `Docs/` — product, architecture, planning, attribution, and execution documentation
## Local Development
### Run the app
```bash
swift run --package-path Apps AtlasApp
```
### Open the native Xcode project
```bash
xcodegen generate
open Atlas.xcodeproj
```
### Build the native app bundle
```bash
./scripts/atlas/build-native.sh
```
### Package `.zip`, `.dmg`, and `.pkg` artifacts
```bash
./scripts/atlas/package-native.sh
```
### Run focused tests
```bash
swift test --package-path Packages
swift test --package-path Apps
```
## Refresh README Media
```bash
./scripts/atlas/export-readme-assets.sh
```
This exports the configured app icon and current app-shell screenshots into `Docs/Media/README/`.
