Where Cra is going

Coming up next.

• Notarized builds

  Signed with a Developer ID so a regular download opens with no approval in System Settings.

• Automatic updates

  Cra checks for a new build and installs it in place. Until then, rerun the install line.

• GitHub live folders

  A folder that fills itself with your open pull requests, review requests and assigned issues, and empties as they close. Sign in with GitHub once; the folder stays current in every space.

Wanted, not started.

• Homebrew

  brew install --cask cra.

• Intel builds

  The build script pins Apple silicon today.

• Sync between Macs

  Spaces and settings kept in step across your Macs.

In the current build.

• Spaces, pinned tabs, favorites, folders

  The sidebar model, with per-space Today lists and colour themes.

• Command bar with learned ranking

  Open tabs, archive, history, popular domains and actions in one box.

• Auto-archive and the Library

  Closed tabs are kept, searchable, and restorable.

• Split view

  Up to four tabs side by side in one window, horizontal or vertical, kept in the sidebar like any tab.

• Little Windows

  Links from other apps open in a small window outside the sidebar; ⌘O moves the page into a space.

• Picture in Picture

  Videos pop out into a floating window, automatically when you leave a playing tab.

• Chrome extensions

  From the Chrome Web Store, an unpacked folder, or imported from another Chromium browser.

• Ad and tracker blocking

  A built-in list of more than 22,000 domains, on by default, with first-party requests left alone.

• Import from any browser

  Arc, Dia, Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, Firefox, Zen and Safari, including passwords and sign-ins.

• Settings and a shortcut recorder

  Every shortcut is rebindable in Settings, with conflicts flagged. Default browser, Dock and open-at-login in one place.

Asked for, deliberately left out.

• Windows or Linux

  Cra is AppKit and SwiftUI around CEF. A port would be a different app.

• Built-in AI assistant

  Cra stays a browser. Use the sites you already use.

• Telemetry

  There is nothing to turn off.
