The Free plan includes one device and one active tool. Here’s exactly what that means in practice — and what to do when you see “local-only mode.”

​
How the slot works

You don’t pick your active tool anywhere during setup — the first tool you actually use claims the slot automatically. From then on, that tool captures and recalls against your cloud memory: synced, backed up, visible in the dashboard.

​
What happens with a second tool

If you connect a second tool on Free, it isn’t blocked — it drops into local-only mode and tells you, with a notice like:
Atlaso · Cursor isn’t your active tool on the free plan — running in local-only mode. Switch tools or upgrade at app.atlaso.ai.
In local-only mode:
  • Capture and recall keep working on that machine — the tool still remembers within itself.
  • Nothing syncs to your cloud memory: what it saves won’t appear in the dashboard or in your other tool, and your cloud memories don’t flow into it.
  • Nothing is deleted — it’s a sync boundary, not a data loss.

​
Switching your active tool

1

Open Connections

Go to app.atlaso.ai → Connections.
2

Pick the tool

Find the tool you want and select it as your active tool.
3

Done

The next session in that tool syncs against your cloud memory; the previous one drops to local-only.
Switching lives in the dashboard only — there’s no command inside the tools themselves for it today.

​
Removing the limit

Pro ($10/month) removes both limits: unlimited devices and unlimited tools, all sharing one memory. Details on the pricing page.
