Arc
About Arc
Arc is an Android application that reframes habit tracking around personal identity rather than task completion. Users begin by selecting an identity they wish to embody, such as a calm presence in every room or a disciplined person who keeps their word. Each morning, the app generates a single two-minute action tailored to that identity and the user’s stated obstacle. Actions are written in the voice of the chosen identity and can be swapped if not preferred. Progress is measured through an alignment score, a six-dimension compass updated daily, and written mirrors at 30-day intervals that reflect behavioral patterns. The app includes features like streak freezing for one missed day per week, a 9pm nudge to protect streaks, focus sessions, and 30-day challenge arcs. Data is stored locally by default but can be synced across devices with an optional account. All features are available without ads, analytics trackers, or data selling, as the subscription model funds the app.

Frequently asked questions about Arc
What is an identity-based habit tracker?
An identity-based habit tracker organizes habits around who you are trying to become rather than a checklist of tasks. Instead of logging actions like 'drink water' or 'read 10 pages,' you select an identity such as 'a calm presence in every room,' and each daily action is tailored to reinforce that identity.
How is Arc different from a normal habit tracker?
Arc asks users to define who they want to become and then generates a single, personalized two-minute action each morning aligned with that identity and their stated obstacle. Progress is measured through an alignment score, a six-dimension compass, and written mirrors rather than a grid of checkmarks.
Is Arc available on iPhone?
No, Arc is currently available only for Android devices and is distributed through Google Play.
What happens if I miss a day?
One missed day per week is automatically frozen, so a single bad day does not reset your progress. Arc also sends a 9pm nudge to help protect your streak before the day ends.
Does Arc show ads or sell my data?
No, Arc does not display ads, use analytics trackers, or sell user data. The subscription model is the sole revenue source, ensuring the app prioritizes user benefit over advertiser interests.
Do I need an account to use Arc?
No, an account is optional. You only need to create one if you want to sync your arc across multiple devices.
