The cloud,
made personal.
Arq is a home computer for the AI era — a single piece of hardware that replaces monthly subscriptions with a digital home that belongs to you.
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.

Built to live at home.
A compact, preconfigured system that brings storage, media, remote backups and private AI into one calm piece of home infrastructure — built to run quietly, stay organised, and be usable by the whole family.
Storage, ready to grow
8TB+ storage options
Arq is designed around real household storage needs: photo libraries, video, documents, media, and backups that keep growing year after year. The system uses dedicated internal drive capacity so your data lives on hardware you control, with room to expand as your digital home grows.

End-to-end encrypted
Remote access and offsite backups are secured with encryption only you can unlock. Arq never sees your data in transit.
No advertising model
We make money from hardware and software — not from profiling you. Your data has no commercial value to us, by design.

Security fixes, improvements and OS updates delivered automatically. Built to get better over time, not obsolete.
Your memories protected
Encrypted remote backups mean a hardware failure never means lost photos or files. What matters to your household stays safe.
Yours, always
No feature gates, no expiring licences. No subscription required to use what you bought. When you buy Arq, you own it.
