Cra 0.1.2331 October 2026
Arc’s now-playing player, split favorites and folder previews
Music and videos playing in other tabs get Arc’s player at the bottom of the sidebar, with track controls and a volume slider. Split views can be favorites, and hovering a folder previews its tabs.
Now playing
Leave a tab that’s playing music or a video and a card appears at the bottom of the sidebar, as in Arc. Hover it to see every tab that’s playing, with its title, play and pause, previous and next track, and a volume slider. Videos get a Picture in Picture button, and the cards follow your space’s light or dark look. Suggested by Wladimir in #33.
Folder previews
Hover a closed folder and its tabs appear beside it, newest first, with a search field, as in Arc. Type to narrow them down and pick one without opening the folder. You can turn it off in Settings ▸ Tabs.
Split views in Favorites

A split view can be a favorite: one tile with its pages side by side, like a pinned split.
What else is new
Tab sleeping that sleeps
“Sleep tabs I haven’t looked at in” never unloaded a tab: almost every site counted as holding typed text or asking before it closes. Now only text you actually typed, or a page’s own warning before closing, keeps a tab awake, and Cra’s log says why. Tracked down by Wladimir in #32.
Arc’s solid colours
Importing from Arc now brings spaces with a single colour across as that colour, drawn the way Arc draws it, instead of a random gradient. Reported by Wladimir in #30.
Thank you
