Reminders

Set reminders in hours, days, weeks, months, or on a fixed date and time.

Habits

Links

Save links with notes, mark them read or unread, and keep research in one place.

Subscriptions

Track recurring subscriptions with due dates, monthly plans, yearly plans, or custom durations.

Payments

Log one-off spending with simple title and amount tracking.

Study Timers

Run General or Focus Time sessions. Timers are unlimited and never counted toward your cap.

Built for quick access

Menu Bar

Menu Bar Quick-Add

Click the menu bar icon to add a Reminder, Habit, Link, Timer, Subscription, Diary entry, Flash Card, Payment, or Quick Note without opening the full app. There is also a built-in currency and unit converter for fast utility work.

Calendar View

See subscription due dates and reminders on a monthly calendar. Click any day for a popover with everything due that day.

Sync

Realtime sync is enabled by default. If you are offline, entries are queued and synced automatically when you are back online.

Notifications

Local reminders cover due dates, quick note saves, and study timer endings. Subscription renewal alerts can be set for 1, 3, or 5 days before renewal.

Summary & Images Pro

Pro unlocks the Summary dashboard, the Images category, animated backgrounds, and a higher entry limit for heavier use.

API Access Pro+

Third Arm does not include a built-in AI assistant. Pro+ adds optional AI Connect prompt export and read-only API tokens for your own external AI tools.
