Arca Opens to Everyone, Paying People for the AI Sessions They’d Otherwise Throw Away
After invite-only early access, the desktop app from the team behind Brevis is now open to anyone on Mac and Windows. HONG KONG, November 11, 2026: Arca, a new desktop app from the team behind Brevis, opened to the public today. Arca pays people for the AI sessions they’d otherwise throw away. It finds the session history their AI tools already keep on their computer, lets them choose which sessions to submit, strips sensitive details on the device before anything is uploaded, and pays for the sessions that are approved. Starting today, anyone can sign up with an email address, with no invite and no waitlist. Much of today’s knowledge work runs through AI tools. People steer a model through a task, correcting it, throwing out what fails and keeping what holds up. Every one of those sessions leaves a detailed record of real work: the back-and-forth, the dead ends, the fix that finally worked. These records pile up by the thousands on people’s computers, and once the window closes, they’re worth nothing to the person who did the work. Arca gives that work a value. How it works Arca works with the AI tools people already use, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Claude Desktop. After installing the app, users see the sessions Arca has found on their machine, past ones included. They pick a session to upload, and Arca anonymises it on their computer before it leaves, then returns a quote range. Users either confirm, which sends the session to review, or withdraw, in which case the upload is deleted. Approved sessions are paid weekly. Arca only reads sessions that are already on the user’s computer, and it lists everything it finds.
