Web Archive Player For Mac

Web Archive Player is a simple desktop application that allows you to open web archive files saved to the WARC and ARC formats and browse their contents in offline mode.

Web archives can be created using free online services that record every page you navigate to and save them in collections that can be downloaded and stored locally.

This application is a wrapper for the pywb web archiving tools. It creates a server that sends content from the chosen file and provides an address that can be accessed from a web browser.

Web Archive Player is very simple to use, only requiring that you select the web archive you wish to play, as all other operations are performed automatically. The created server is opened in your default web browser, and from here you can navigate to any page contained in the chosen file.

Initially, Web Archive Player displays a list of all the HTML pages found in the selected file. You can find the one you wish to view manually or use the app’s search function to locate it based on its URL. The query results inform you of the number of captures that match the chosen criteria and provide other useful details.

Once you have found the desired web page, you can open it and browse its contents, just as you would normally. Of course, the number of additional links you have access to depends entirely on the manner in which each page was captured, but it is possible to save the entire contents of a website on your Mac, complete with images, videos or any other types of media.

To conclude, Web Archive Player is a reliable tool for users who need to open WARC and ARC files on their Macs and are looking for a quick and easy way to do so. It requires no configuration and can be put to use as soon as it is installed.
