EchoKeep each part of life in its own Space.
A vertical sidebar brings tabs into view. Spaces and profiles give work, personal browsing and everything between a place of their own.
Sidebar · Spaces · ProfilesFor the way you learned to browse
It's only an Echo
of past glory.
Some ways of browsing are worth carrying on. Echo brings Arc’s workflow forward, with a Rust interface on Chromium.
In development. No public binaries yet. Windows and Linux are coming later.
A familiar way forward
The browser is going.The habits can stay.
The Browser Company is shutting Arc down on December 22, 2026. For many of us, the sidebar, Spaces and small details changed how the web felt.
Echo is an independent effort to carry that way of browsing forward. It is still in development. The aim is familiar; the foundation is our own.
Keep your rhythm
A place for your tabs.
Room for your thoughts.
Echo is being built around the things you reach for every day. These are the workflows we’re working toward.
Go where the thought takes you.
Reach for the Command Bar to open a page or find a tab. Peek and Little windows make room for quick detours.
Command Bar · Peek · Little windowsKeep the whole picture in view.
Put related pages beside each other in Split View. Read, compare and follow a thread without switching back and forth.
Split ViewMake the web feel like your web.
Use Boosts and themes to make a space your own. Keep the things you want to return to close in your Library.
Boosts · Library · ThemesChoose what leaves your device.
No Echo account, no sync and no telemetry. AI features are designed for your own provider and API keys, with no Echo server in between.
Local first · Your AI providerA calmer kind of browsing
Find your place.
Pick up the thread.
The workflow should feel familiar before you have to think about it.
- 01
Choose a Space.
Give the task in front of you its own context, with a profile that fits.
- 02
Open what matters.
Start from the Command Bar. Keep the pages you return to in the sidebar.
- 03
Stay with the thought.
Compare in Split View. Take a quick Peek. Come back to where you left off.
A look at the intended workflow. Public downloads are not available yet.
A little continuity goes a long way
Familiar habits. A local foundation. A browser you can look inside.
The source is the proof
Built in the open.
Still taking shape.
The code is public while the browser takes shape. Follow the work, look inside and decide for yourself.
Explore the source- Rust for the browser interface.Chromium for the web underneath.
- Local comes first.No Echo accounts, sync or telemetry.
- Your provider. Your keys.AI requests go directly to the provider you choose.
Before you make room
A few things
worth knowing.
Can I download Echo today?
Not yet. Echo is in development and there are no public binaries. The download buttons will become available here when a release is ready.
What happens to Arc?
The Browser Company is shutting Arc down on December 22, 2026. Echo is an independent project carrying its way of browsing forward. Echo is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Browser Company.
Which platforms are planned?
macOS on Apple Silicon comes first. Windows and Linux are planned for later. We do not have a public release date to promise.
Will I need an Echo account?
No. Echo is local first, with no Echo accounts, no sync and no telemetry. Website logins still belong to the websites you choose to use.
How will AI features work?
You choose a provider and supply your own API keys. Requests go directly to that provider, with no Echo server in between. The provider’s own terms, pricing and data practices apply.
Can I inspect the source?
Yes. The public Echo repository is on GitHub. It is the best place to follow the work while the browser is being built.
Your next chapter, when it’s ready
Keep a place for Echo.
There are no public binaries yet. Downloads will appear here when they’re ready.
