“We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026.”@arcinternet on X, Oct 22, 2026

Arc is ending.Your spaces don't have to.

Cra is an independent, open-source browser built around the sidebar you know. Import from Arc and keep your spaces, pinned tabs, favorites and archive.

Cra keeps your tabs in their place

  1. 01

    Give every project its own space

    Work, side project, weekend plans. Each space has its own favorites, its own pinned tabs, its own Today list and its own colour. Switch with ⌃1 to ⌃9 or glide across the dock at the bottom of the sidebar.

    Type where you want to go

    Press ⌘T and the command bar searches your open tabs, your archive, your history and every action in the app at once. It remembers what you pick, so the right result climbs to the top.

    Tabs that clean up after themselves

    Today tabs archive on their own after a window you choose, from 12 hours to 30 days. Nothing is lost. Press ⌘Y and the Library opens in your sidebar with every closed tab, searchable and one click from coming back.

Favorites and folders

Each space keeps its own top sites in a grid at the top. Below them, nest tabs into folders, move whole folders between spaces, and archive the lot in one go.

Cra has no account and no server. Your spaces, tabs and archive are plain JSON files in Application Support that you can read, back up or delete, and the command bar's suggestions are computed on your Mac.

A built-in blocker cancels requests to more than 22,000 known ad and tracker domains, unless they belong to the site you are on. No ads, no analytics, nothing sold.

Free for everyone, paid for by the people who use it

Cra has no investors, no ads and no data to sell, so the only thing keeping it going is the people who use it. Arc ended because the company behind it moved on. Cra is open source so that can’t happen to your browser again.

Sponsoring pays for the Chromium updates, the Apple signing that lets Cra open like any other app, and the time it takes to keep up with a browser engine. Every feature stays free, whether you sponsor or not.
