A diary that becomes your biographer. Biography is a life told from the end — the dots only connect when you look back. But someone has to lay the dots down first. That's what Arc is for. Most journaling apps stop at the prompt: you write, and the words just sit there. We rarely go back to our diary, Arc does. Capture your days by voice, text, or video — it takes seconds, and it's always free — and Arc reads across your weeks, months, and years to write your story back to you, in your own words. CONNECTING THE DOTS — IN REVERSE Looking back, how many times have the dots connected in reverse? The job you didn't get led you to the work you were meant for. The heartbreak made room for the person who was everything you'd been looking for. Losing something taught you to treasure every ordinary day. We rarely notice these connections, because no one keeps the thread. Arc does. It threads today's entry back to the ones that led here, and surfaces the turning points you only recognize now. WHAT A BLANK PAGE CAN'T DO • Weekly reflections, written for you — unprompted • "Arc noticed…" cards that surface threads you're too close to see • Defining moments and turning points, found and named • Year in Review — your whole year, told back to you like a story A STORY WORTH KEEPING In the end, Arc becomes a biography you can share with the people you love — the connected story of who you were, and who you became. Already lived a lot of life? Bring in the years before Arc and let it pick up the thread. BUILT ON TRUST • Voice-first: press record and talk — Arc writes it down • Arc never makes anything up: every reflection traces back to your own words • It won't flatter you: it reflects the real person back • Private by default: no feed, no followers, nothing shared unless you choose Capture is free, forever. Arc Pro unlocks the biographer. A year from now, you'll have something no other app gives you: your life, connected. — Arc offers one optional auto-renewing subscription, Arc Pro (monthly or yearly). Plans and prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation, and subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends — manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
