Cra 0.1.294 November 2026

Peek like Arc’s, space themes with a light and a dark half, Arc’s space tooltip

Peek is now Arc’s card, with its own bar and Close, Expand and Add To Split beside it, and it moves the way Arc’s does. Spaces on Auto get a light and a dark half that follow macOS, favorites can be shared by every space on a profile, and a space can change profile the way Arc does it.

Peek, built like Arc’s

Shift-click a link, or click a link to another site in a pinned tab or favorite, and it opens in a card over the page: its own bar with back, forward and the address, and Close, Expand and Add To Split beside it. The page behind dims, and the card grows in and out on Arc’s own curves. Links inside the Peek stay in it, ⇧⌘T brings back a Peek you just closed, and Add To Split from a pinned tab makes a new split in Today and leaves the pinned tab where it is. Reported by Abhi Kanani on X.

Space themes with a light and a dark half

A space set to Auto has a light half and a dark half and shows the one macOS asks for, switching live, as Arc’s Auto themes do. An Arc import keeps both halves, and Dark gives a dark tint of your colours instead of the raw colour. Asked for by neolytic in #155.

Arc’s space tooltip

Hover a space in the dock to see its profile and its ⌃ shortcut, in the space’s own colours. Every tooltip in a window now takes the focused space’s tones. Reported by Wladimir in #152.

Drag to add Favorites

A space with no favorites shows Arc’s card where the tiles go. Drop a tab on it and it becomes the first favorite; the ✕ hides the card for that space. Reported by Wladimir in #157.

Profiles the way Arc does them

The Change Studio’s Profile dialog over the window: the space’s icon with a profile badge, a note that each profile has different browser data, a Default profile pill, and Cancel and Change Profile buttons

A space’s sign-ins belong to its profile, as in Arc. New Space now starts on the profile of the space you’re in, Spaces ▸ Change Profile moves a space to another profile, and a new profile asks “Which Spaces should use this Profile?”.

A Share button on the copy toast

“Copied Current URL” has Arc’s Share button, in windows and Little Windows, and ⇧⌘C in a Little Window now shows the toast too. Reported by Abhi Kanani on X.

What else is new

  • Favorites shared by a profile

    Settings ▸ Tabs ▸ Spaces ▸ Share Favorites across Spaces with the same profile gives every space on a profile one list of favorites, exactly as Arc keeps them. It’s off by default, so favorites stay per space until you turn it on. Asked for by neolytic in #154.

  • Tab sleeping you can tune

    Settings ▸ Tabs ▸ Tab Cleanup has “Force tabs out of memory after:” (on at 4 hours, as before) and “Force tabs out of memory when the Mac is short of memory” (off). A sleeping tab now keeps its history and scroll position, and a tab in a call stays awake. Designed with Wladimir in #153.

  • Fixes from your reports

    • With macOS’s Reduce transparency on, the sidebar is one flat colour like Arc’s instead of blurring and stepping on activation (#156, Wladimir; the blur dropping on activation without it is still open).Wladimir
    • Closing Picture in Picture with its ✕ pauses the video (Abhi Kanani on X).
    • The command bar’s glow stays on the bar (Abhi Kanani on X).
    • Shift-click in a Little Window opens the link there, as in Little Arc (Abhi Kanani on X).
