Bow

Bow on a Mac: the sidebar with Favorites, a Work Space with pinned tabs, a folder and today's tabs
Download Bow for macOS

Early preview for macOS. Build it from source on GitHub.

  1. The Bow sidebar: Work Space with pinned tabs, a Side project folder and today's tabs

    01A sidebar that keeps up with you

    Favorites at the top, the sites you pin below them, and today's tabs under the line. New tabs land in today, so the sites you keep stay put.

  2. A Personal Space in Bow with its own tabs, and the Space switcher at the bottom of the sidebar

    02Spaces for every part of your day

    Work, personal, that side project. Each Space has its own tabs and can have its own logins. Switch with Ctrl+1 to 9 or a swipe.

  3. The Bow command bar listing open tabs to switch to

    03One bar for everything

    Press Cmd+T to type an address, search the web, jump to a tab you already have open, or find a page you visited last week.

Thoughtful from the first tab

Favorites

Your everyday sites as a row of icons at the top of the sidebar. Each one opens in place.

Four Favorites tiles at the top of the Bow sidebar

Folders

Group tabs into folders, nested as deep as you like. They remember whether they were open.

Profiles

Each Space can use its own profile, with its own logins, history and Favorites, so work and personal never mix.

Split view

Put two pages side by side in one window, like a doc next to the call you're taking notes in.

Peek

Preview a link in a floating window, then get back to the page you were reading.

Importing from Arc

Bring your Spaces, folders, pinned tabs and Favorites with you, so day one feels like home.
