Install: open OpenArc-0.2.4.dmg and drag Open Arc into Applications (Developer ID signed and notarized; Apple silicon, macOS 14+). Installed 0.2.x builds update through Open Arc ▸ Check for Updates….

Since 0.2.3:

  • Closing the selected tab returns to the tab you used before it; with no history it picks the neighbour below (then above), and with no Today tabs the nearest pinned tab.
  • Selecting a tab that another window already shows moves its page to this window and dims it in the other one, as Arc does. Clicking the dimmed page takes it back.
  • The strip above the sidebar now behaves like a title bar: a double-click zooms the window (following the system title-bar setting), and a drag still moves the window.
  • The top strip is easier to hit: it spans the page's full width, is 22 pt tall, and the double-click works anywhere along the top edge, over the page too.
  • The sidebar scroll knob is lighter and appears only while you scroll.
  • While swiping between Spaces the window background now blends toward the target Space's colour instead of jumping at the switch.

Known gaps:

  • Sites' own search engines (OpenSearch) are not picked up automatically.
  • No warning yet when a saved password appears in a data breach.
  • Client-side phishing detection is off (Safe Browsing is off by default).
