Description

Arc Mini is an open source companion to Arc App. It provides both a slimmed down subset of Arc's functionality, as well as additional utility views, for inspecting real time recording and debug information.

Arc Mini is best used as a tinker toy for open source developers, or Arc App power users wishing to get the best out of their data, or greater insights into real time timeline recording. However it can also be used as a standalone timeline recording app, with export to GPX and JSON.

Arc Mini integrates with Core Motion to record step counts and accelerometer data, to determine activity types such as walking, running, skateboarding, etc.

Two Too Many Apps

Thank you so much for the clarification.

Previous feedback: While the main Arc app offers a comprehensive and user-friendly experience, the introduction of the Arc Mini seems redundant to me. For users seeking simplicity and efficiency, having two apps that serve a similar purpose can be confusing and consume extra space on their device, not mentioning the negative impact on the battery.

Update: Thanks for updating your review! It really helps a lot.

Original reply: Arc Mini servers a vital purpose when combined with Arc App.

iOS reserves the right to terminate any app at any time, for any reason or no reason at all. Which means that an app that needs to record 24/7 is inevitably going to end up with data gaps. There's no way around that. Except there is: Two apps.

If Arc App is terminated by iOS, Mini will notice, and take over the job of recording. With the two apps running, one of them will be recording and the other in standby, ready to take over when needed. No more data gaps.

There is no additional impact on battery life. Only one app is recording at a time, with the other in a standby mode that consumes no energy.

In future I recommend bringing up these questions on the support forum (https://support.bigpaua.com) where I am active every day, and can explain or assist with anything that comes to mind.
