Hi,

I'm the developer of Arc, an intelligent AI Screen Assistant for Android. I'm excited to share it because its true power is letting you define exactly what the AI does with the content on your screen.

Tired of copying text, switching to a chatbot app, pasting, and asking a question? ARC eliminates all that with a simple, floating sidebar that works in any app you're currently using.

🤯 The Hero Feature: Custom & Community AI Actions

This is how you turn a powerful AI into your personal, ultra-specific digital assistant:

Build Your Own: Define an action prompt, and save it for one-tap use. Imagine reading a recipe, article, or shopping list, and instantly running these custom commands:
- "Fact Check" (Check the claims in this article and provide sources.)
- "Find Calories" (Analyze this recipe text and estimate the calorie count.)
- "Find Cheaper Alternative" (Suggest a budget-friendly substitute for this specific product or service.) And so on.
One-Tap Access: Execute your custom action instantly on any visible text, in any app (browsers, social media, email, documents).
Community Sharing (Optional): Browse, share, and use prompts created by other users—from specific translation styles to advanced data extraction.

Beyond custom actions, ARC handles your daily information tasks effortlessly:

💬 Chat with AI: Instantly open a conversation about the content on your screen. Ask follow-up questions, get clarifications, or explore topics further without copy-pasting.
💾 Save for Later: Capture important text or images from any app with a single tap and save it securely for later viewing.
⚡ Instant Summaries: If you just need the gist, get a concise AI summary in seconds.
🎧 Listen to Anything: Turn long documents or articles into high-quality audio.

🛡️ Built with Privacy in Mind (No Background Monitoring!):

Trust is essential for a screen assistant, so I built ARC to be privacy-first:

NOT a Background Monitor: Arc ONLY accesses your screen content when you explicitly tap a button in the sidebar. It does not monitor or run in the background.
Local Storage: All your Custom Actions, chat history, and saved content are stored securely on your device.
Sensitive App Blocker: Arc automatically disables itself in nearly 400 sensitive apps (banking, password managers, etc.) by default. Additionally you can choose which app arc can work on.

🎁 It's Completely Free

Arc is a passion project built on a foundation of accessibility, and it's 100% free to use. Optional sign-in is only needed for cloud backup and the Community Actions feature.

I’m really looking for feedback on the Custom Actions feature—what practical, unique prompts are you building? Let me know what you think!
