Bow remembers your passwords now, every Space gets its own Favorites, and signing in to Google works again.
Install
Download Bow-0.2.0-arm64.dmg below, open it and drag Bow to Applications. Bow is signed and notarized by Apple.
It needs a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) and macOS 13 or later. Already on 0.1.x? Bow updates itself: the
sidebar says Update ready once it has downloaded.
Before you update
- 0.2.0 saves your sidebar in a new format, because every Space now keeps its own Favorites. Bow keeps the old file
next to the new one (browser-state.version-4-….json), but 0.1.x can't read the new format: going back to 0.1.x
starts empty unless you put that copy back. - Sync: update every Mac that syncs. A Mac still on 0.1.x is left out, with a notice, until it is updated too.
What's new
Bow Passwords
- After you sign in, Bow offers to save the password. Next time your saved logins are listed under the field: pick one
and Bow fills it in. - Sign-in forms inside embedded frames work too, like Apple's sign-in on App Store Connect, Apple Developer and iCloud.
- Bow remembers what you type into forms (emails, names, phone numbers, addresses) and suggests it again. Never card
numbers, one-time codes or other secrets. - Library › Passwords: search your logins, and show, copy or edit a password after Touch ID or your Mac's password.
- Passwords are encrypted with a key kept in your Mac's Keychain, one vault per profile. Private windows never save
anything. Backups and Sync leave passwords out, because another Mac couldn't decrypt them. - Bring your passwords along: importing from Arc, Chrome, Dia, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi or Opera brings them too (macOS
asks once). From Safari, Firefox or the Mac's Passwords app, import the file they export: Library › Passwords ›
Import passwords…
Favorites per Space
- Every Space has its own Favorites row, also when Spaces share a profile. The Favorites you have now stay with the
Space you're in.
Import
- Dia: every space comes over at once, each as a Space of its own with its own profile.
Fixes
- Signing in to Google works again (Google had answered "This browser or app may not be secure").
- Icons sit in the middle of their hover squares in the sidebar, the Library, Peek and Find.
- A thinner scroll bar in the sidebar.
- The download opens in a window of its own design.
Bugs and ideas are welcome in Issues.
Bow is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Browser Company. No Arc code is used; the importer shows each browser's
own logo (Arc's and Dia's included) only to name the browser an import comes from.
