Switch projects without losing your place.
Give every context its own space — work, a client, research, personal. Each one keeps its own tabs and pins, so jumping between projects never means digging through a wall of unrelated tabs.
Your Chrome tabs
are out of control.
Forty open tabs, none of them readable, and the one you actually need is buried somewhere in the strip. SideArc gives every project its own space — so nothing gets lost again.
Free to install, No account needed, Works in the Chrome you already use
SideArc installs on desktop Chrome.
It lives in Chrome’s side panel, so you’ll want to add it from your computer. Send yourself the link so it’s waiting when you get there.
One side panel.
Every project in its place.
SideArc moves your tabs into a clean, readable vertical list in Chrome’s side panel — then splits them into spaces, one per project. Your work, your research, and your personal life stop colliding.

Less time wrangling tabs. More time doing the work.
Save research once. Never re-find it.
Drop pages into folders and nested folders that mirror how you actually think. Close the tab without fear — it’s saved, organized, and one click away when you need it.
Find any tab in two keystrokes.
Stop hunting across forty lookalike favicons. Search every open and saved tab by name and jump straight to it — or search the web without leaving the panel.

Quick answers and practical setup guides for vertical tabs, spaces, and Chrome tab management.
How do I get vertical tabs in Chrome?
Install SideArc from the Chrome Web Store. It adds vertical tabs in Chrome's side panel with readable tab titles, spaces, folders, and pinned tabs.
What is the best Chrome tab manager for active tabs?
For live tab organization, look for vertical tabs, project spaces, pinned tools, saved folders, and drag-and-drop. SideArc is built around that workflow.
Is SideArc an Arc alternative for Chrome?
Yes. SideArc brings Arc-style spaces and vertical tabs to Chrome without requiring a browser switch.
Does SideArc work with Chrome tab groups?
Yes. SideArc can complement Chrome tab groups while giving you a more readable side-panel layout for daily navigation.
Will SideArc slow Chrome down?
No. SideArc runs in Chrome’s native side panel and only acts on the tabs you already have open. There’s no background syncing or heavy processing, so it stays light even with hundreds of tabs.
