About Arc
Arc is a innovative web browser developed by The Browser Company that reimagines how users interact with tabs, bookmarks, and workspaces. Built on Chromium with native Swift development for macOS, Arc uses approximately 40% less RAM than Chrome while delivering smooth performance.
Note: In May 2025, The Browser Company stopped active development of Arc to focus on Dia, their new AI-first browser. Arc continues to receive security updates but no new features. In September 2025, Atlassian acquired the company for million.
Arc's Spaces feature enables powerful workspace organization for separating work, personal, and project contexts. The vertical sidebar, proactive tab management, split views, and customizable Boosts let users modify websites with custom themes and CSS. Little Arc provides a floating mini-browser for quick tasks without cluttering the main workspace.
