Arc transforms ordinary life into an extraordinary narrative. It reframes your day-to-day into a series of meaningful, wild, or ridiculous real-world side quests—each logged, shared, and remembered as modern human lore. Whether you’ve got €10 and a bike or $5k and a spiritual calling, Arc gives you a mission, a map, and a myth to live by.
This is not about the main quest. It’s about all the side quests that make life real. Arc helps you live with intention—and leave a legacy.
