In plain English

Arc is a Mac app that opens anywhere with a keyboard shortcut and reads what is on the screen. It can sum up, explain, translate or pull facts from that content, and rewrite or proofread text in any app. Users mostly pay once. TrustMRR shows about $56 in verified revenue over the last 30 days. The AI does the reading and writing, while the user decides what to keep.
