The Atlan desktop app keeps the skills on your computer in sync with your organization. Choose your operating system below. If your company manages your device, Atlan may already be installed. Open the app and sign in.

Allow Full Disk Access

Atlan needs Full Disk Access to find and sync skill files anywhere in your home folder. When prompted, select Open System Settings, turn on Atlan under Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access, then return to the app.
