SupaSidebar
ProductivityArc-style vertical sidebar with spaces and a command panel for any browser on Mac
What it does
SupaSidebar is a Mac app that adds Arc-like features to any browser, including Safari and Chrome: vertical tabs, spaces, nested folders, a command panel with fuzzy search and Air Traffic Control link routing. It can import from Arc and is free to download, with a paid 'Believer' license (currently $77 with a code until November 11, then $99).
Who it is for
Mac power users and former Arc users who want vertical tabs, spaces and quick tab search while using Safari, Chrome or other browsers.
Why it can be replicated
Arc migration wave
Users leaving Arc look for its sidebar workflow in other browsers, creating search demand ('Arc alternative').
Browser-agnostic utility
Working across all browsers avoids competing with a single browser and widens the market.
Press and reviews
Coverage by Apple blogs (Cuk.ch, Macworld France editor) shows earned-media distribution a clone can pursue regionally.

- 3
Translate: localized onboarding

View financial evidence- Headline mrr=1230 = founder-reported SupaSidebar revenue for September 2026 ($1,230.44, rounded), out of $1,257.35 total gross volume (media/supasidebar-2.jpg); originalMrr=1230.44, USD, basis revenue. This is monthly revenue, mostly one-time licenses, not recurring MRR.
- Founder says September was -42% vs August due to pricing tests; chart shows Aug 2–31 $2,287.36.
- TrustMRR contrast only (seen 2026-11-02): all-time $14,513, MRR $67, 53 active subscriptions, DodoPayment, founded August 2025; API key expired, data last updated 2026-10-02. Brief cited $1,396 last 30d (not re-seen on page). Confirms one-time-heavy revenue; not headline.
- Pricing observed (2026-11-02): free download; Believer license $77 with code BELIEVER77 until November 11, then $99. pricing.from=77 one-time; needs_review whether other tiers/subscriptions exist (pricing page not rendered separately).
- Ease 4: desktop app with per-browser automation (desktop cap ≤5), ~8-week MVP. Potential 6: Arc-alternative search + earned press, Mac-only. Risk Medio: Dodo Payments acts as MoR; fragility of browser automation and one-time revenue noted, not single-API dependency.
