Archrome Help
Archrome is an Arc browser–inspired Chrome extension that manages browser spaces with bookmark folders, so you can keep work, study, personal, and other contexts separate.
Your data lives in Chrome’s native bookmarks—not locked inside the extension—so your spaces and links remain yours even if you uninstall Archrome.

What happens on switch: Open tabs in the current space are saved and closed, then the target space’s tabs are restored automatically.
Tabs & Bookmarks
The sidebar has three main sections:
- Pinned — From a dedicated bookmark-bar folder named
pin. Links placed there stay fixed at the top of the sidebar and do not change when you switch spaces; they are the same in every space. - Bookmarks — Saved links for the current space (change with the space)
- Tabs — Currently open tabs
Common actions:
- Close a tab: Use the tabs list
- Move to another space: Right-click a tab → choose the target space
- Save as bookmark: Drag a tab into the bookmarks area
- Pin a link: Put it in the bookmark bar’s
pinfolder so it appears fixed at the top (shared across spaces)

How Data Is Stored
- Each space is a folder under the bookmarks bar
- Bookmarks in a space are the links inside that folder
- Pinned maps to the
pinfolder on the bookmarks bar and is independent of any space - Open-tab state per space is stored by the extension via Chrome storage; the bookmarks themselves always stay in the browser
