PRODUCT DIRECTION

One Engine. Four Experiences.

Arena starts in the terminal. Cloud, Desktop, and Mobile will build on the same open-source, local-first engine without making local processing depend on an account or subscription.

This roadmap communicates direction, not guaranteed release dates.

Arena Terminal

Available now

The complete open-source, local-first engine and CLI. This remains Arena's foundation and reference workflow.

✓Reliability and recovery
✓Editorial quality
✓Stable artifact contracts

Arena Cloud

Planned

Optional managed compute, storage, collaboration, automation, and publishing around the same Arena engine.

✓Secure remote jobs
✓Hosted projects
✓Private alpha

Arena Desktop

Exploration

A visual local workflow for reviewing clips, adjusting edits, styling captions, and managing projects.

✓Visual clip review
✓Local project workflow
✓Optional Cloud handoff

Arena Mobile

Exploration

A companion for capture, upload, job monitoring, clip approval, and publishing—not initially a replacement for the full engine.

✓Capture and upload
✓Review and approvals
✓Social export
