FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How hard is it to set up?

Setup takes under 10 minutes. Download the app, plug in The Ark, and follow the steps, similar to setting up a new phone. No technical knowledge needed.

How do photos and files work on The Ark?

Everything lives in one app. ArkMessage handles your family group chats, send photos and videos just like WhatsApp. ArkMedia is your private storage, upload, organize, and manage files directly, like a private Google Photos stored at home.

The two are connected: anything shared in chat automatically appears in ArkMedia under a dedicated "From Chats" folder. Nothing gets lost, nothing needs to be saved manually.

All of it stays on your Ark. No third-party access, no cloud uploads, no storage fees.

How many people can use one Ark?

Up to 10 family members. Each person gets their own private account with their own storage, chat, and photo library. The device owner manages who's invited but can't access anyone else's personal files.

Need more than 10 users?

A second Ark can be added to expand your network. Members across both Arks can message and share with each other, fully encrypted: one connected family, across two devices.

What devices work with The Ark?

Currently iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Android support is coming soon.

Can I access my photos when I'm not home?

Yes. As long as your Ark is powered on and connected to the internet at home, you can securely access your photos and files from anywhere.

Send, share, and treasure your family's moments.Yours forever.

Every photo, video, and chat your family shares, living on one device in your home.
