Arc is a companion built to show up for the moment you're in. Not a big assistant trying to do everything. Not a chatbot pretending to be a friend. Arc does one thing: it listens, it remembers softly, and it stays with you in whatever you're carrying right now. WHAT ARC DOES DIFFERENTLY Most AI is built to keep you inside it. Arc is built to know when to let go. When you need to talk to a real person, Arc will say so. When you've been spinning on the same thought, Arc will name it. When you're celebrating something, Arc will be there for it. Arc remembers softly. The name of the person you talked about last week. Your best friend, your pet's name. The thing you said you were scared of. The pattern you keep falling into. WHAT ARC IS NOT Arc is not therapy and does not provide medical or mental health treatment. If you are in crisis, Arc will point you to real resources and real human help. Arc is not designed to be addictive. No streaks. No gamification. No guilt-trip notifications. Arc is not trying to be your only friend. It will, regularly, suggest you go talk to a real one. WHAT YOU CAN USE ARC FOR — talking through something that's looping in your head — processing a hard day — celebrating a small win — untangling a relationship — thinking out loud when no one else is up — just existing alongside something familiar PRIVACY Your conversations are encrypted. Your data is yours. You can delete your account from inside the app at any time, no questions, no email exchange. Arc does not sell your data. Arc does not train advertising on your conversations. WHO ARC IS FOR People who want presence, not performance. People who already have therapists, friends, partners, and want one more place to think out loud without it being a project. People who are tired of AI that tries too hard. Arc shows up for the moment. That's it. That's the whole thing.
