What's Inside

Every tool your
biology needs.

  • 22-Point Precision Diagnosis

    Builds your full biological profile — sleep schedule, energy map, caffeine habits, lifestyle context — before the first paywall.

  • Dynamic Daily Trajectory

    A live 24-hour timeline of biological missions — from sunrise to sleep.

  • Chronotype Discovery

    Lion, Bear, Wolf, or Dolphin — your identity mapped to your biology.

  • Caffeine Half-Life Tracking

    Log every drink. Watch the live decay curve. Know the exact minute it's safe to sleep.

  • Peak Focus Windows

    Scientifically timed deep work intervals when your brain is sharpest.

  • Morning Sunlight Anchoring

    Cortisol & melatonin rhythm optimization starting the moment you wake.

  • Manual Sleep Check-in

    Rate last night's sleep each morning. Poor sleep triggers a recovery-mode protocol — sunlight early, caffeine delayed 90 minutes.

  • Contextual Intel Feed

    Daily briefings driven by your actual yesterday — not a static article library. Behavior-aware coaching that adapts.

  • Biological Briefings

    Context-aware coaching with the peer-reviewed science behind each action.

  • Local-First Architecture

    SQLite on-device storage. Your biological data never leaves your phone.

The Process

Three steps to your
Perfect Day.

  1. Take the Diagnosis

    Answer 22 science-backed questions about your sleep, energy patterns, caffeine habits, and lifestyle. ARC builds your full biological profile — the longest onboarding in the category.

  2. Discover Your Chronotype

    Find out if you're a Lion, Bear, Wolf, or Dolphin — and what it means for your daily schedule and peak performance windows.

  3. Follow Your Daily Trajectory

    Get a live 24-hour protocol with Peak Focus Windows, caffeine decay tracking, sunlight timer toward your 20-min morning target, and smart wind-down notifications.

Your Identity

Which one
are you?

Your chronotype is your body's built-in biological clock. ARC identifies yours in 5 minutes.

  • Lion

    Early Riser

    Peak energy in the morning. You do your best deep work before noon. Protect your mornings fiercely.

  • Bear

    Solar Rhythm

    You follow the sun. Steady energy during daylight with a natural afternoon dip. The most common chronotype.

  • Wolf

    Night Owl

    Peak creativity and energy in the evening. You're wired for late nights and slow mornings.

  • Dolphin

    Light Sleeper

    Irregular patterns and light sleep. Highly alert and anxious. Your schedule needs the most precision.

Why ARC

Built different.
By design.

  • Science-Backed, Not Guesswork

    Built on peer-reviewed circadian research from Stanford Neuroscience and UC Berkeley Sleep Science. Every recommendation has a citation.

  • Privacy-First Architecture

    All data stays on your device with local-first SQLite storage. No cloud sync, no data harvesting — ever.

  • Not Another Habit Tracker

    ARC doesn't just track what you do — it tells you when to do it. Aligned with your biology, not arbitrary goals.

  • Built for High Performers

    Designed for founders, creators, and biohackers who treat their energy like a resource — not an afterthought.

The Science

Biology you can
actually use.

ARC is built on peer-reviewed chronobiology — not habit tracking folklore. Here's the science powering every recommendation.

  • Sleep Pressure

    Adenosine

    The Adenosine Clear

    Adenosine builds up in your brain from the moment you wake. It creates sleep pressure that makes you feel tired. Caffeine doesn't remove it — it just masks the signal. ARC calculates the exact window to wait before your first coffee, preventing your 2 PM crash.

  • Morning Anchor

    Cortisol

    Cortisol Pulse Timing

    Morning sunlight triggers a cortisol spike that sets your entire daily rhythm — including when you'll feel alert and when melatonin will rise 12–16 hours later. ARC gives you a precise sunlight window within minutes of your wake time.

  • Sleep Onset

    Melatonin

    Digital Sunset Protocol

    Melatonin release is triggered by your morning cortisol spike and suppressed by evening light. ARC's Digital Sunset protocol tells you exactly when to dim screens and lights to let your natural sleep signal rise — every night.

Sample Biological Briefing

“Strategic window. Waiting 90 mins after waking prevents your 2 PM focal crash.”

ARC delivers context-aware coaching in plain language — with the science behind every action, not just a to-do list.

Smart Notifications

Nudges that speak your biology

Not generic reminders. Every alert is timed to your chronotype and written in plain language — so you know exactly why it matters.

Coffee time

~90 min after wake

Your adenosine has cleared. Coffee now gives you clean energy without the afternoon crash.

Caffeine wall — stop now

~early afternoon

Every coffee after this point costs you 15–20 min of deep sleep. Your cutoff is now.

Start winding down

~1 hr before sleep

Melatonin production is ramping up. Dim lights and reduce screen brightness.

All notifications are chronotype-aware and delivered at the right moment for your schedule — not a generic template.

Who It's For

High performers
think in energy.

  • High-Performers

    Founders, engineers, and creators who need maximum focus hours. ARC maps your peak windows so you stop guessing.

  • Coffee Drinkers

    You drink coffee every day but have never understood how it actually interacts with your sleep. ARC shows you the exact cutoff minute.

  • ADHD Professionals

    Structured visual missions replace overwhelming to-do lists. Biology-aligned triggers your brain actually responds to.

  • Sleep Seekers

    Sleeping 7-8 hours but still exhausted? It's a timing problem, not a duration problem. ARC fixes the root cause.

  • Biohackers

    Real data and correlations — not just streaks and checkboxes. Understand the cortisol-melatonin rhythm driving your entire day.

  • Remote Workers

    Design your flexible schedule around biology, not just calendar availability.

FAQ

Questions
answered.

What is a chronotype?

A chronotype is your body's natural preference for when to sleep and wake. There are four types: Lion (early riser), Bear (solar rhythm), Wolf (night owl), and Dolphin (light sleeper). ARC identifies yours through a 22-point precision diagnosis.

How is ARC different from a sleep tracker?

Sleep trackers tell you how well you slept last night. ARC tells you how to structure your entire day — when to do deep work, when to have caffeine, when to get sunlight, and when to wind down. It's proactive, not reactive.

Is ARC based on real science?

Yes. ARC is powered by peer-reviewed chronobiology research from Dr. Andrew Huberman (Stanford Neuroscience) and Dr. Matthew Walker (UC Berkeley). Every recommendation has a scientific basis.

Does ARC collect my health data?

No. ARC uses a local-first architecture — all your data is stored on your device using SQLite. Nothing is sent to external servers. You can delete everything at any time from app settings.

What does the caffeine cutoff feature do?

Caffeine has a half-life of 5–6 hours. ARC calculates your personal cutoff time based on your sleep schedule so caffeine doesn't interfere with your sleep quality.

Is there a free trial?

The Annual plan includes a 3-day free trial. The Weekly plan is instant access with no trial — cancel anytime. The free tier includes core chronotype discovery and daily trajectory with no time limit.
