Start with the things that should not feel this difficult
A file is on the other device. A screenshot only needs one more note. Two computers already share a network, yet connecting still takes a detour. ArcRelay starts with these ordinary moments and makes focused device software that is easier to understand.
We are an independent software team working on local-first collaboration, private-network tools and open engineering. We think through permissions, data paths and product boundaries first, then fold the remaining complexity into an interface that feels natural.
Three focused products
| Product | Primary job | Current direction |
|---|---|---|
| ArcRelay Suite | Cross-device input, content relay and trusted collaboration | Open-source desktop app; first release taking shape |
| SubnetDesk | Direct remote desktop across LANs, private links and VPNs | Released standalone product |
| Sniptra | Capture, annotation, local OCR and pinned images | Included in ArcRelay; standalone release planned |
They share a brand, but they do not need to grow at the same pace. Maturity, installation and platform support vary, so each product page and official release remains the source of truth.
What matters to us
- Local first: if a task can stay on your device or a network you control, it should not need a cloud detour.
- Visible boundaries: identity, permissions and data paths should not disappear behind the interface.
- Cross-platform, without pretending every platform is identical: support different devices and explain the differences honestly.
- Built to be maintained: work openly where it helps and leave room to care for the software years from now.
