Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Arc because I was tired of the copy-paste routine: copy text from an app, open ChatGPT, paste, write a prompt, copy the answer, go back. I was doing it dozens of times a day just to summarize a thread or fix up a reply.
So I flipped it around. Arc comes to the screen you're on instead. Open it over any app and it can summarize what's there, read it aloud, rewrite what you're typing, or run small automations for you.
A few things we cared about:
🔹 Works everywhere. Any app, no integrations needed
🔹 Android + Mac. Same assistant on your phone and your laptop
🔹 Free. No credit card to get started
It started as [a weekend project / a tool for myself] and grew into [X] users after we [brief milestone].
I'd love your honest feedback: what would you use Arc for first, and what's missing? I'll be here all day answering questions 🙏
