Overview

Arc-style vertical tabs sidebar for Chrome. Organize tabs with drag & drop, groups, favorites, and a beautiful glassmorphism UI.

Your browser, organized. If you use Chrome every day, you know the problem: no way to see all your windows and tabs. In the one window you have open, tabs are squished to unreadable icons. Arclight is a luxury upgrade for every Chrome user. A beautiful vertical tabs sidebar that slides in from the edge of your screen, giving you full tab titles, multi-window organization, drag & drop, and a glassmorphism UI that looks stunning in both light and dark mode. Everything Arc browser made people fall in love with, right inside Chrome. Arclight is the sidebar Chrome should have shipped. ───── WHAT YOU GET ◆ Vertical tab sidebar — See every tab's full title at a glance, not truncated gibberish ◆ Multi-window management — All your windows in one sidebar, organized and collapsible ◆ Left or right positioning — Put the sidebar on whichever side you prefer ◆ Drag & drop everything — Move tabs between windows, reorder windows, merge groups ◆ Smart window naming — Windows auto-name themselves based on their tabs, or rename them yourself ◆ Supports Chrome Tab Groups — Full tab group support with color labels, right from the sidebar ◆ Light, Dark, and Auto themes — Gorgeous glassmorphism UI that matches your system ◆ Right-click any tab for quick actions — Pin, favorite, group, close, and more ───── HOW IT WORKS ◆ Hover the edge of your screen to open the sidebar instantly ◆ Click any tab to switch to it, even across windows ◆ Drag tabs between windows or onto groups to organize ◆ Collapse windows and groups to focus on what matters ◆ Custom keyboard shortcut — Set your own hotkey to toggle the sidebar ───── THOUGHTFUL DESIGN ◆ Your most recent window always rises to the top — no hunting for where you just were ◆ Tab titles are cleaned up automatically — site names stripped, just the page title ◆ The active tab indicator only shows in the focused window, so you always know where you are ◆ Single-tab windows get a 15-second grace period before collapsing — close tabs freely without the sidebar rearranging under you ◆ Hover the rename button to reveal it, hover away and it disappears — nothing clutters the UI until you need it ───── FREE DURING EARLY ACCESS ◆ Favorites — One-click bookmarks pinned to the top of your sidebar ◆ Pinned Tabs — Tabs that persist across browser restarts, matched by URL so they survive Chrome updates ◆ AI Window Names — On-device AI (Gemini Nano) generates smart window names like "React Research" or "Travel Planning" based on your open tabs ───── SETTINGS ◆ Sidebar position (left or right) ◆ Theme (Light, Dark, or Auto) ◆ Custom keyboard shortcut ◆ Toggle Favorites, Pinned Tabs, and AI Window Names on or off ───── PRIVACY FIRST Arclight runs entirely locally. No data collected, no accounts, no cloud calls. The optional AI naming feature uses Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano model — everything stays on your device. Zero tracking, zero analytics, zero telemetry.
