## Best for

Arc users who like the sidebar workflow but do not want to move to Dia or lose their spaces.

## Why it deserves attention

Cra rebuilds Arc's core ideas as an independent SwiftUI browser: a sidebar of spaces, pinned tabs, favorites, an archive, split view, and Arc-style shortcuts. It imports your Arc spaces, tabs, and favorites in one step, and keeps everything local with no account. It is MIT-licensed, free, and under active daily development with a few hundred GitHub stars. It is early, needs macOS 14 on Apple silicon, so expect missing edge-case features and less hardening than Safari or Chrome.
