ARC is a seasonal self-improvement app built to help you reset your life, stay disciplined, and improve your life the way nature designed it: in focused seasons. Instead of endless to-do lists, ARC gives you a clear structure: 90-day seasonal Arcs. Winter. Spring. Summer. Autumn. Each Arc is a focused chapter of your life. Choose habits and goals that fit the energy of the current season, build your routine, track your consistency, and watch your progress compound day by day. BUILD YOUR ARC Create a personal 90-day transformation plan around the habits and goals that matter most to you. Fitness, focus, sleep, learning, work, discipline, mindset, routines, personal growth — your Arc is yours to define. SEASONAL HABITS AND GOALS ARC helps you improve your life in rhythm with the seasons. Each season can guide a different focus: Winter for discipline and deep work. Spring for growth and new habits. Summer for energy, health, and action. Autumn for reflection, consistency, and refinement. TRACK DAILY HABITS Log your habits every day and build momentum through simple, focused tracking. ARC helps you see what you completed, what you missed, and where you need to improve. STAY CONSISTENT Your streaks, completion rate, and consistency history help you understand your real discipline over time. No noise. No complicated setup. Just a clear view of your progress. SEASONAL RESET SYSTEM Every season is a new chapter. ARC is designed around four powerful cycles: • Winter Arc • Spring Arc • Summer Arc • Autumn Arc Use each season to reset, refocus, and become better than the version of yourself from the last Arc. GOALS, HABITS, AND PROGRESS ARC helps you connect your daily actions to bigger goals. Track what you are building, measure your effort, and keep your long-term transformation visible. DISCIPLINE INDEX See your progress through simple stats and visual feedback designed to keep you aware of your consistency and performance. MINIMAL, FOCUSED DESIGN ARC is built for people who want a serious, clean, distraction-free habit tracker. No clutter. No childish gamification. Just a sharp system for personal growth. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your personal ARC data is stored on your device and/or in your iCloud, depending on your settings. We do not collect your personal habit, goal, streak, note, or progress data on company servers. ARC CAN HELP YOU: • Build better habits • Track daily discipline • Stay focused on long-term goals • Create a 90-day self-improvement plan • Reset your routine each season • Improve consistency • Track streaks and progress • Choose habits that fit the current season • Stay accountable to yourself • Turn self-improvement into a clear system WHO ARC IS FOR ARC is for people who are tired of vague motivation and want structure.

A chosen period. Habits kept. A recap at the end. Winter Arc guides you through your 30, 60 or 90-day discipline challenge: training, sleep, food, mindset. Not another loud fitness app — a calm, focused tool built to last all winter. START IN ONE MINUTE The "Classic Winter Arc" pack is ready to go: workouts, water, no alcohol, cold showers, reading, a steady bedtime… Keep it as is or pick from 26 preset habits. Everything stays editable: frequency, target, unit. A STREAK, BUT NOT ONLY Missing one day shouldn't wipe everything out. Winter Arc tracks your streak, but above all your consistency score. And every day, one freeze lets you pause a whole category when life gets in the way — a sore back won't break three streaks at once. FILL IN YOUR DAY IN 30 SECONDS Check it off, log a quantity, add a note. In the evening, a gentle reminder nudges you — only if your day isn't filled in yet. YOUR ARC AT A GLANCE Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets: your day, your arc day, your consistency, without opening the app. SHARE YOUR PROGRESS A sleek card, ready for your Instagram story in one tap: day, week or full-arc recap, on a dark background or on your own photo. AND ALSO • Day, week and arc gauges, with milestones at day 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90 • Dated notes, gathered in your recap • Moodboard: photos and quotes that lift you up • Meal prep: weekly planner and an auto-generated shopping list • Full end-of-arc report, exportable as PDF YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account, no server. Everything is stored on your iPhone. The 30, 60 and 90-day marks are challenge milestones, not a scientific promise: everyone builds habits at their own pace. What matters is showing up.
