// UNIHODL vs ARC
Arc reorganizes your browser. UNIHODL saves where you were inside it.
Arc is a browser. UNIHODL is an extension that works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox — and on Arc itself. They solve different problems and they compose well.

We’re not going to pretend otherwise.
- Novel Spaces model — organize tabs by workspace.
- Easel for visual scrapbooking and annotations.
- Thoughtful keyboard-driven UX and aesthetic polish.
- Split-view and auto-archiving reduce tab bloat.
Where UNIHODL wins.
Works in every browser, not just Arc
Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Arc (which runs Chrome extensions). UNIHODL follows you across the browsers you actually use at work.
Exact state, not just tab organization
Arc groups tabs by Space. UNIHODL captures scroll position, video timestamp, reading anchor, and AI intent — so resuming is lossless.
Team handoff and public gallery
Arc is solo-browser. UNIHODL transfers held work to teammates (with audit log) and publishes to a public gallery of forkable decision boards.
Multi-surface: VS Code, Mac, iOS, Android
UNIHODL isn't browser-bound. It holds from your editor, your email, your phone's share sheet — not just the browser window.
