What's New in Arc
1.2.0
August 31, 2026
One plan, not three. Arc is now simply Free or Arc Pro. Capture stays free forever — and everything the biographer does now lives in a single plan, so there's no tier to puzzle over. "You came through" is now free. When Arc notices you've come out the other side of something hard, it shows you the arc of it — your own words back then, and your own words now. That moment used to be paid. It isn't anymore. Your story, anchored in time. If you brought in the years before Arc, your defining moments now sit at the age they actually happened — so the line from then to now is a real one, drawn across decades instead of days. Reflections read like writing. Weekly reflections now come back as proper paragraphs, without the citation marks getting in the way. Signing in, without dead ends. If a sign-in method isn't available on your device, Arc now falls back to email instead of stranding you at the door. Smaller things. Arc no longer shows its own scoring notes where your reasons belong, and Profile now tells you exactly which version you're running.
