Restore Arca+

Open Arca, go to Profile, choose Arca+, then tap Restore Purchases. Use the same Apple Account that originally purchased the subscription. Restore does not charge you again.

Manage or cancel a subscription

On iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Apple manages billing, renewals, cancellations, and refunds.

How is the feed personalized?

Arca ranks stories using recency plus on-device source and keyword signals from what you read, like, and dislike. Your reading profile does not leave your device.

Can I add an RSS feed?

Yes. Alongside the curated sources, you can add an RSS feed URL and it will appear in your feed and search like a built-in source.

Why does an article ask me to subscribe?

Some publishers place articles behind a paywall. Arca preserves the publisher’s page rather than bypassing it. A publisher subscription may be required to read the full article.

Can I read saved articles offline?

When a publisher includes complete article text in its RSS feed, Arca can keep that publisher-provided text on your device. Excerpts and publisher webpages require a connection.

Can I listen to podcasts offline?

Arca+ subscribers can download the audio file supplied in a podcast’s RSS feed. Downloaded episodes remain playable offline and can be removed individually or from Profile → Downloads.

Delete local data

Arca does not require or create a server account. Deleting the app removes bookmarks, history, streaks, preferences, cached articles, and downloaded podcast episodes stored locally.
