001 Angel Number meaning

Short answer: 001 is a lead sequence angel number. It opens with 0 (wholeness and infinite potential) and closes with 1 (new beginnings and initiative), so it reads as a message that moves from wholeness and infinite potential towards new beginnings and initiative. The digit 0 appears 2 times, which puts extra weight on wholeness and infinite potential. Its digits add up to 1, so its core energy is number 1: new beginnings and initiative. On a clock it appears as 0:01.
