Apps. Agents. Workflows.

Everything in ARK is built on three building blocks. Launch apps, delegate to agents, and wire them together with workflows — all from one tab.

// 01

Apps

Every project gets a launchpad tile. Start, stop, restart, assign ports — all auto-detected. One dashboard for every repo you're running.

Deck view
// 02

Agents

Persistent Claude Code sessions that live between conversations. Each agent has an ARK-aware system prompt and takes real actions through arkctl.

Crew view
// 03

Workflows

Multi-step automations described in plain English. Chain agents, schedules, and tasks together into pipelines that run themselves.

One Captain. Unlimited crew.

ARK boots with a Captain agent that manages your whole fleet. Spin up as many crew members as you need — each gets a persistent Claude Code session, an ARK-aware system prompt, and access to arkctl.

// CAPTAIN

The Captain

Always-on agent that oversees ARK itself. Manages cross-cutting architecture, coordinates crew, and keeps the bridge running.

Built-in
// CREW

Crew Members

Your custom agents. Assign them to any project, give them a name and system prompt, and let them work in persistent terminal sessions.

You create
// CLI

arkctl

The CLI that connects everything. Agents create tasks, log work, start apps, and read crew state — all through one command.

Shared API

Three steps. One minute.

No config. No build step. Just paste and go.

// STEP 01

Install

Run npx arkhq in your terminal. ARK spins up on localhost and opens in your browser. Node 18+ required.

// STEP 02

Open

ARK opens automatically in your default browser at localhost:3000. No signup, no license key — it just runs.

// STEP 03

Ship

Your projects auto-detect. The Captain is ready. Start assigning tasks, creating schedules, and building workflows.
