Arca Opens to Everyone, Paying People for the AI Sessions They’d Otherwise Throw Away
Summary
Arca, a desktop app from the team behind Brevis, is now publicly available for Mac and Windows after invite-only access. It identifies AI-tool session histories stored locally, lets users choose sessions to submit, anonymises them on-device, and pays weekly for submissions approved after review. Supported tools include Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Claude Desktop, with some model and session eligibility limits. Uploads require explicit user confirmation; Arca says it does not upload in the background. Sign-up is free, and a launch challenge offers $10,000 in prizes through November 30.
