Arc
Category: Browser
Arc is my main browser on desktop and mobile. I moved over from a mix between Safari and Chrome because it makes browsing feel more organised.
Most browsers eventually become a long row of tabs, windows, and searches. Finding the right page takes more effort than it should.
Arc structures that chaos. It feels closer to tools I already use, like Raycast, Alfred, and Notion, where I can access whatever I need through the command bar or shortcuts. The less I need to use my trackpad, the better.
I use Spaces to separate different areas of my life and work, making it easier to switch context without unrelated tabs distracting me. Mine are usually split around things like design, development, research, and personal browsing. Pinned tabs highlight the pages I use daily, and the command bar lets me jump to pages, settings, and actions from the keyboard.
The features I use most:
- Spaces & Pinned Tabs: For keeping contexts separate and daily pages accessible.
- The Command Bar & Custom Shortcuts: To access pages faster.
- Little Arc, Split View, and Tidy Tabs: For opening quick links, comparing pages side by side, and cleaning up after a browsing session
Arc is still just a browser. It opens websites like every other browser. What I enjoy most is that it feels designed around access and organisation rather than tab management, which makes search feel faster and more intentional.
