Taking reservations for October 2026The cloud,
The cloud,
made personal.
Arq is a private cloud for your household — a single piece of hardware that replaces a stack of monthly subscriptions with apps, storage and memories that belong to you.
The problem
Your digital life is rented. It shouldn't be.
Every month the bill grows. Photos in one cloud, films in another, music somewhere else, files held hostage behind a login. None of it is really yours — and it's all watching.
Arq ends that. One device. One home. Everything in one place, private by design.

Everything you already pay for. None of the rent.

No subscription, ever
The principle
Your data, in your home. Full stop.
Arq has no servers. No accounts to mine. No telemetry to sell. Everything lives on the device sitting on your shelf — and only you hold the key.
End-to-end encrypted, always
Every byte that leaves your home is sealed with keys generated on your device, that never leave it.
No ads, no profiling, no exceptions
Arq's business is selling hardware. Not your photos, your search history or your evenings.
Open, auditable code
Every core app is open source. If we ever changed our mind on privacy, you would see it. So would everyone else.
