Guides for the vault, notes and calendar, sharing with family or a team, keeping your account safe, and billing.

Getting started

Create your account, set your master password and choose a plan.

Create your account and start a trialSign up with an email address, get 14 days of everything with no card, and learn the difference between signing in and unlocking.
Your master passwordThe one key behind your vault, notes and calendar. Why it never leaves your device, how to choose a good one, and why we can't reset it.
Choosing a planPersonal, Family or Business. Every plan includes the vault, notes and calendar; they differ by people, storage and team controls.

Logins, secure notes, files, time-locked access, the generator, authenticator codes, import and export, and the browser extension.

Logins, secure notes and filesWhat you can keep in the vault, how it is encrypted, and how folders, favourites, search and the trash work.
Importing and exporting your vaultBring your passwords in from another password manager, and take your Atrium vault out again as an encrypted backup or as CSV/JSON.
Time-locked accessLock a vault item so it can only be opened inside the windows you choose, enforced by our server's clock rather than a setting in the app.
Schedule typesDaily, weekly, monthly, date-range and cron windows, with examples of when to use each.
The password generatorCreate strong random passwords when you add or edit a login, in the web app or the browser extension.
Authenticator codes in the vaultStore a login's authenticator key alongside its password and get a live one-time code right on the item, without a separate app.
Auto-lock and the clipboardKeys live only in memory, the vault locks after 15 minutes idle, and copied passwords are cleared after 20 seconds.
The browser extensionFill in logins on the sites you visit and save new ones, with the same encryption and unlock as the web app.

Markdown notes, links and backlinks, daily notes, templates and Obsidian import.

Getting started with notesWorkspaces, folders and Markdown files, how notes are encrypted, and how search, tags and version history work.
Links and backlinksConnect notes with [[wikilinks]], link to headings, give links a different label, and see which notes point back.
Daily notes and templatesA note for each day, and reusable templates with date, time and title placeholders.
Import from Obsidian, and export your notesBring in an Obsidian vault folder or Markdown files with links intact, and export a zip of Markdown whenever you like.

Events, recurring events, tasks, reminders and ICS feeds.

Creating events, tasks and remindersTimed and all-day events, several calendars, tasks, and reminders by in-app notification or email.
Recurring eventsEvents that repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, and how to change or skip a single occurrence.
ICS import, export and subscriptionsMove events in and out with .ics files, subscribe to calendar feeds by link, and add public holidays.

Sharing items, shared vaults, members, seats and break-glass requests.

Sharing itemsShare a vault item with another Atrium user without our server ever holding a key that can open it.
Shared vaults, members and seatsHow Family and Business accounts add people, share vaults with roles, and count seats.
Break-glass requestsOn Business, ask to open a time-locked item outside its window, with the owner's approval and a full audit trail.
