Spaces with their own profile
Every Space has its own name, emoji, color and, by default, its own cookies, logins, history and extensions. Work and personal, signed in side by side.
Arc shuts down on 22 December 2026. YARC (Yet Another Arc Clone) works the way Arc did, with the sidebar, Spaces, command bar, split view and Little Arc, and imports your Arc spaces, pinned tabs, favorites and history. Free and open source, for macOS, Windows and Linux.
Say it like a pirate. A browser that boards Arc and sails off with its best ideas.
Because that's what it is: Arc's sidebar, Spaces and shortcuts, rebuilt in the open.
Every Space has its own name, emoji, color and, by default, its own cookies, logins, history and extensions. Work and personal, signed in side by side.
Press ⌘/Ctrl+T to switch to any open tab, search, open URLs, dig through history and the archive, or run commands.
Up to four tabs side by side. Shift-click a tab, use Ctrl+Shift+=, or open a link in split view. Drag the gaps to resize.
A small window for quick lookups and links from other apps. Keep the page with one click and it moves into your sidebar without reloading.
Pick a name, emoji and color, and choose a fresh profile or share one with an existing space.
Do this before 22 December 2026. After that date Arc no longer opens, but its files stay on disk, so the import keeps working on a copy of the folder.
Imported: spaces with their emoji and colors, profiles, favorites, pinned tabs and folders, Today tabs, the archive and your browsing history.
Not imported: saved passwords and cookies (export your passwords from arc://settings/passwords into a password manager first), extensions (reinstall
them from the Chrome Web Store), and Boosts, Easels and Notes, which YARC doesn't have yet.
Moving to another computer? Copy ~/Library/Application Support/Arc over and pick Use a Different Copy… during the import.
