Hi Product Hunt, I'm Stone, the developer of Open Arc.
Open Arc is for people who want to keep browsing the way they did in Arc, without rebuilding their workspace. It is an independent, open-source macOS browser with its own code and artwork.
Import your Arc sidebar: Spaces, theme colors, supported icons, folders, pinned tabs, Favorites, Today tabs and split views. The import reads your Arc data without modifying it. The 44-second video and screenshots use a development build with sample data.
The familiar parts include Spaces, Profiles, Split View, Peek, Little Arc, a command bar and automatic tab archiving. Browser data stays on your Mac; optional sidebar sync uses your own private iCloud database. No Open Arc account is needed. Basic usage sharing can be turned off in Settings > General and does not include browsing content.
It is free, BSD-3-Clause licensed, and built on Chromium for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14+. It is not affiliated with The Browser Company. Cookies, signed-in sessions and extensions don't migrate, and Widevine DRM isn't supported.

Which part of your Arc workflow would you need before switching? If you try importing, I'd especially like to hear what arrived correctly and what needs work. Please describe any missing item rather than sharing your private sidebar file.
A deeper look for anyone comparing Open Arc with Arc: I've published our first full feature guide, with app screenshots and a side-by-side comparison.
It walks through Spaces and Profiles, auto-archiving, Split View, the command bar, Peek and Little Arc, plus what Arc import actually transfers and how optional private iCloud sync works. It also lists the gaps, so you can judge whether your own workflow is covered.
