Arc is a calm companion for noticing time pass, marking what matters, and keeping the whole year in view.

What Arc does

A year-progress tool without the noisy productivity theater.

01

See the year

Each month becomes a row, each day becomes a dot, and today has a clear place.

02

Count down — or up

Count down to what's coming, or count up from a day that mattered. Arc marks days-since milestones — 30, 100, then every year.

03

Keep it calm

No streak pressure, public feeds, or engagement loops. Just a useful daily signal.

Private by design

Arc does not need your data to leave your phone.

No accounts, no servers, no third-party analytics, no ad identifiers. The app is designed around Apple's on-device frameworks and local storage.

01

Local first

Names, dates, and notes live in the app container on your iPhone.

02

Human support

Questions and bug reports go directly to the person building Arc.

Now available

Built for people who want to notice their year, not optimize it.

Private on-device storage
No accounts or analytics
Built for quiet daily use

App Store

Arc is now available on the App Store.

Who operates Arc

Arc is an iOS app operated by Mr. Makkena under Ojas Labs. Questions about privacy can be sent to the contact page.

Data stored by the app

Arc lets you save year-related entries such as names, dates, and notes. That information is stored locally on your device using Apple's on-device storage. Arc does not send it to us.

Arc may use iOS Spotlight so you can search your entries on your device. The Spotlight index is maintained by iOS locally and is not shared with us.

Data collected by us

Arc does not collect personal data. It has no account system, no advertising identifiers, and no in-app analytics.

Arc uses two third-party SDKs with limited, non-personal data collection:

  • Firebase Crashlytics (Google) — If Arc crashes, Crashlytics sends a report containing the crash stack trace, device model, iOS version, and app version. This is not linked to your identity. Google's privacy policy governs this data.
  • RevenueCat — If you purchase Arc Pro, RevenueCat validates your purchase with Apple and tracks your entitlement. It receives your app version, device type, and an anonymous RevenueCat ID — not your Apple ID or payment details. RevenueCat's privacy policy governs this data.

Neither SDK is used for advertising, tracking, or profiling. No data from either SDK is linked to your name, email, or any identifier personal to you.

Arc does not request access to your contacts, photos, location, microphone, camera, Health data, or calendar.

Sharing and tracking

We do not sell, share, or track your app data. Because the app does not send your data to us, there is no app data for us to disclose to advertisers, analytics providers, or other third parties.

Retention and deletion

Your Arc data remains on your device until you edit it, delete it, or delete the app. Deleting Arc removes the data stored in the app container from that device.

If iCloud Backup is enabled for your device, Apple may include Arc data in your encrypted device backup. That backup is controlled by your iOS settings and governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Service discontinuation

If Arc is discontinued, no action is required on your part — your data lives on your device and is unaffected. There is no server-side data for Ojas Labs to delete.

Changes

If Arc's data practices change, this policy will be updated before the changed version ships. The date above shows the latest revision.

Helpful details

  • The version of Arc you are using.
  • Your iPhone model and iOS version.
  • What you expected to happen.
  • What actually happened.
  • A screenshot, if it helps explain the issue.

Data recovery

Arc stores data locally on your device. If you delete the app, its local data is removed from that device. Data may be restored only if it exists in an iCloud or encrypted local backup that you restore through Apple.

Sync

Arc does not currently provide its own cross-device sync. iCloud Backup, if enabled, is handled by iOS and is separate from an in-app sync feature.

License

Arc is licensed, not sold. Your use of Arc is governed by Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement and these terms.

Acceptable use

  • Use Arc only for lawful purposes.
  • Do not misuse, reverse engineer, or modify Arc except where allowed by law.
  • You are responsible for backing up your device if you want to preserve local data.

Availability

Arc is provided as is. We try to keep it reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or that it will meet every specific need.

Service discontinuation

Ojas Labs reserves the right to discontinue Arc at any time. If the app is removed from the App Store, we will note it on the App Store page and at arc.ojaslabs.dev with at least 30 days' notice where possible. Lifetime purchases grant access to Pro features for as long as Arc is available; they do not guarantee perpetual service. All purchases are processed by Apple — refund requests must be directed to Apple and are subject to Apple's refund policies.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ojas Labs and the developer of Arc are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of local app data.

Changes

Arc may change over time. Material app changes will be noted in App Store release notes. If these terms change, the revision date above will be updated.
