Rebuilt around one idea: your day, planned from your own logs. Learn what actually moves your afternoon — measured over weeks, not asserted on day one.
You are not lazy at 3pm. You are running on a clock nobody showed you.
ARC works out the shape of your day — when your energy peaks, when it drops, and when a coffee stops being a good idea — then plans around it. Not a generic routine. Yours, built from what you actually log.
ONE ANSWER, NOT A DASHBOARD
Open the app and there is one sentence explaining why you feel like this right now, and one thing worth doing about it. Underneath, the rest of your day as a plan you can work through. Nothing else competes for your attention.
The plan is not a schedule. Log a walk and its block closes. Miss your morning light and a compensatory walk appears that was not there at breakfast. Report a low before the app expected one and the whole afternoon re-times.
YOUR LAST SAFE COFFEE, ACTUALLY CALCULATED
Most apps give you a rule of thumb. ARC solves for the latest moment a drink your size still clears your system before bed — from your bedtime, how fast you personally metabolise caffeine, and everything you have already had today.
Two people with the same bedtime and the same cup can get cutoffs three hours apart. That is not a bug. That is the point.
IT CHANGES ITS MIND ABOUT YOU
You tell ARC when you crash. After about ten days of check-ins it stops taking your word for it and uses the hour you actually crash — and it tells you when the
two turn out to differ. Everything timed around your dip moves with it.
PROOF, NOT PROMISES
The Trends tab is the receipt for everything the app has told you: your crashes per week, whether the number is falling, when your dip really lands, and what each
habit changed. Every claim is built from your own check-ins and each one knows whether it has enough history to mean anything. When it does not, it says so
instead of drawing a line through three points.
ONE CHANGE, FIVE DAYS
Every so often ARC proposes a single experiment — an earlier cutoff, light before nine, a walk before your dip — runs it for five days, and scores it against the fortnight before. "No difference" is one of the possible verdicts, and it is a real result: it takes something off your list for good.
LEARN
23 briefings on light, caffeine, sleep and timing, in English and German. A reference you go to, not a feed pushed at you.
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
No sleep score. No streaks. No badges. No congratulating you. The app will tell you that you slept badly; it will never tell you that you are doing badly.
No account. No login. No wearable required. Your history lives on your phone.
REQUIRES
iPhone. Notifications are optional. Location is never requested — sunrise comes
from your time zone.
ARC is a wellness app. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or
prevent anything.

I’m giving this five stars for potential and because it serves a niche in the market that is very much needed. However, it is a bit off for me. I’m a wolf type. Already knew that. Being a wolf type my lifestyle is already built around my DSPD so my schedule does not configure to your typical 9-5. That being said, the app quiz still forced me to answer questions about peak energy and coffee timing based on a 9 to 5 schedule. I thought the whole idea of this app was that I would not have to answer questions as though I have a typical schedule. So for some reason, it thinks I have my first coffee at 3:30 AM, which is an hour before I told it I usually go to sleep. Seems like a bug? I also would like the ability to switch from UK (military) time to U.S. time.
Developer Response
You're 100% right, and we fixed all three. The 3:30 AM coffee bug was a hardcoded "AM" that ignored your actual wake time. The quiz now uses relative timing ("a few hours after waking") instead of fixed clock times. And we've added a 12h/24h toggle in Settings. Rolling out in the next few hours. Thanks for flagging these. Wolves with DSPD are exactly who ARC should serve best.
Essential for a night shifter
Uhhh Factual
As a night shifter trying to stay consistent has its ups and downs, where this maps out your day, when you shouldn’t have anymore caffeine and such to try and optimize your circadian rhythm. This isn’t JUST for night shifters and it’s for everyone. Even if you are on a standard 9-5. It helps people create better habits for longevity of a circadian rhythm.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for this so positive review
Know your body!
NotxJeff
I must say I didn’t pay much attention to my circadian rhythm but it’s nice to know about how my body works and also what the optimal time it is to drink coffee and when to cut it off so it doesn’t affect my sleep. It’s a good little reminder to help stay in tune with your body!
Developer Response
Really glad that it helped you in your busy life. Keep your circadian rhythms healthy and enjoy ✌️
Very strong subscription binding!
Element01
The autumn application strongly imposes its paidSubscription, which has a very negative impact on the experience of using the application.
• Your energy dip now follows your own pattern, so the label, plan and walk agree
• Bedtime and wind-down stay at the times you set
• Opening the app late no longer shifts your morning
• Late sleepers see the right plan after midnight
• "Afternoon dip" is now "Energy dip"
