# Atto — The cloud for your small stuff > Atto is a managed cloud for small software: publish a purpose-built app to a private URL, share it like a document, and pay a price that cannot surprise you. ## What Atto is Atto is a publishing platform for software with a small, known audience — the internal tools, trackers, planners, dashboards and jumped-up spreadsheets that a team builds for itself. You connect a repository, press publish, and Atto gives the app a private HTTPS URL and keeps it running. What you manage is apps, people, access, releases, domains, cost and recovery. What you do not manage is servers, containers, pipelines or a cloud account. ## What it does ### Instantly shareable Onboard your team in seconds. An app on Atto has a URL you can send to a person, the way you would send a document. They open it, sign in with an account they already have, and use it. Nobody needs a platform account or infrastructure permissions to be a user. ### All your custom tools Build it, add it, use it. A workspace is where your team's apps live — the tracker, the rota, the approval flow, the three spreadsheets that became applications. One list, one set of people, one bill. A new tool joins it instead of turning into another cloud account nobody remembers owning. ### Private Apps live behind your Google org. Nobody has to write a login screen. Atto checks access at its own edge before a request reaches the app, so a URL on its own opens nothing and your team signs in with the work account they already use. Every app starts private to you, you widen the audience deliberately — named people, a work group, anyone with the link — and removing someone once removes them everywhere. ### Agent-ready Plugged into your favourite tools. Most small software is now written with a coding agent. Atto is built for what happens next: the app comes from a repository, so whatever wrote it — you, your agent, or both — can hand it over without a separate deployment ritual. ### No surprises Only use what you pay for. Cost is bounded the way the software is. A plan has an explicit capacity limit, Atto refuses work that does not fit inside it, and moving up a tier needs your consent. There is no automatic scale-up, so there is no bill you did not agree to. ## Who it is for - **A person sharing something they built** with friends or family — a trip planner, a shared inventory, a household dashboard — who wants to send a link, not run a server. - **An engineer replacing a SaaS subscription** with a tool shaped around how their company actually works, published behind the identity provider staff already use. - **A manager who described a tool to an agent** and now needs it to exist somewhere colleagues can open, without learning what a deployment pipeline is. ## What it costs A plan buys a fixed amount of capacity with a hard boundary. Atto declines work that would exceed the plan instead of quietly billing you for it, and any move to a larger plan is something you agree to first. Pricing for general availability is not yet published. ## Status Atto is in early access and is invite-only. People are let in a handful at a time; you can join the list at https://atto.to/. There is no public API and no CLI yet, so any documentation claiming otherwise is not describing Atto. --- Last updated: 2026-07-28.
