Beyond the Sticky Note

Turn a quick thought into a full project. Arka allows you to expand blocks into rich documents with integrated databases, code snippets, and E2EE files.

Your Thoughts, Private

Google scans your notes to profile you. Arka encrypts everything with keys only you hold. Your private thoughts stay truly private.

Proactive AI Reasoning

Don't just keep notes; use them. Our AI identifies patterns across your notes, suggesting tags and surfacing relevant information before you even ask.

Unlimited Vault Scale

Move beyond labels. Use nested notebooks and structured databases to organize 100,000+ notes without ever losing your focus or speed.

Upgrade your second brain.

Keep is for things you'll forget. Arka is for things you'll use. Transition to a professional-grade workspace today.
