Independent open source organization.
We build software that is free, permanent, and belongs to everyone.
Open Arc is an independent software organization with no corporate backing, no investors, and no agenda beyond shipping good software. We build across the full stack — from bare-metal kernels to CLI tools, security frameworks, developer utilities, network software, and AI tooling.
Everything we make is open source. Forever.
| Domain | Description |
|---|---|
| Systems & OS | Kernels, bootloaders, low-level infrastructure, hardware drivers |
| Security Tooling | Recon frameworks, anonymization tools, penetration testing utilities |
| Developer Tools | CLI utilities, package managers, editors, compression systems |
| Networking | Protocol implementations, mesh hubs, privacy-first network software |
| AI & Inference | Local AI systems, inference tooling, offline-first assistant frameworks |
| Mobile & Android | Termux-native apps, Android utilities, cross-platform mobile tooling |
Open by default — Every project ships under MIT or GPL. No exceptions.
Low level when it matters — We go as close to the metal as the problem requires.
Built to run anywhere — From servers to smartphones to bare hardware.
No gatekeeping — No CLA, no approval process, no hierarchy.
Ship over talk — We measure progress in commits, not roadmaps.
Open issues, submit PRs, propose new projects. No permission needed.
