Appearance

Small choices that show up every day. Theme, notch behavior, capture window, and motion settings.

Atomus's UI stays out of your way, but the small choices add up. You can tune the parts that show up every day.

Theme

Light, dark, or follow system (default). Change it in Settings → Appearance → Theme.

Notch behavior

Two things to tune.

  • Position: the review pill can drop from the center of the notch area (default), the left edge near the camera, or from the top of the screen for non-notch Macs.
  • Animation speed: 1x (default), 1.5x for a subtler appearance, or instant for no animation at all.

If you're on a Mac without a notch (pre-2021 MacBooks, Mac minis, iMacs), Atomus renders the review pill at the top of the main display. Everything else works the same.

Capture window

  • Size: compact (default) or comfortable
  • Font: system default or a monospace font for code-heavy notes
  • Line width: tight for short captures, wide for paragraphs

Motion

If you prefer less motion across the app, turn on Reduce motion in Settings → Appearance → Motion. Atomus respects macOS's system-wide Reduce Motion setting automatically, so you usually don't need to touch this.
