Never trust a VC-backed founder who says, "don't worry ___ is not leaving"

Source: In his May 2025 open letter to Arc members and subsequent public statements, CEO Josh Miller reassured users that while active feature development was ending, Arc would be maintained indefinitely.

Congrats on the launch, Ilias! It's great to see more people working on local-first media search. Amazing design <3

Full disclosure: I've been building something similar. SCM is a free, open-source macOS app for searching photos and video scenes locally:

thanks for this! will do some research on it
YES! I can confirm it works perfectly on M1/M2/M3 machines (16g/64g).
Thank you :) It's 100% free and open source!
Glad you like it :)!

Could you elaborate a bit more?

Love this one! My immediate thought for a build: just a camera with on-device VLMs and LLMs. You could point it at a normal whiteboard (or a wall of sticky notes), and the model could interpret the handwriting, track the tokens, and sync the state digitally in real-time without needing any special "smart" hardware.

It feels like a much more flexible approach than an expensive proprietary whiteboard. Would a camera-only setup cover your use case?
