Coming from Arc? File › Import from Arc… brings over your Spaces, Favorites, pinned folders and tabs, Today
tabs, themes, archive, history and Chrome Web Store extensions (Arc's files are only read, never changed).

What's in it

• Sidebar: Favorites as tiles, Spaces with Pinned and Today tabs, nested folders, live folders (GitHub pull
  requests and issues, RSS feeds), drag and drop everywhere, including dropping a tab on another tab to split them.
• Spaces and profiles: a theme per Space (colours, light or dark, grain), separate cookies and logins per
  profile, private windows.
• Command Bar (⌘T): open tabs, history, search suggestions, browser actions and Tab to search a site.
• Peek, Split View, Little Windows, picture-in-picture, Boosts, Notes and Easels.
• Auto-archive: Today tabs you have not used for 12 hours move to the Archive, like Arc.
• Chrome extensions from the Web Store, per profile, with automatic updates and password manager links.
• Several windows (⌘N), each with its own Space, selection and sidebar.
• Sleeping tabs: a page you have not used for 30 minutes frees its memory and wakes where you left it.
• Picture-in-picture for videos, embedded players included, when you leave their tab.
• Import from Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi and Safari too.
• Ad and tracker blocking (opt-in), per-site permission prompts, your choice of search engine.

Bow updates itself from here on: when a new version is out, it downloads in the background and the sidebar says
Update ready. Bugs and ideas are welcome in Issues.

Bow is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Browser Company. No Arc code, icons or assets are used.
