DockApp

Your Dock, your rules

DockApp replaces your Mac’s Dock so you can find open windows visually, restore saved arrangements, and adjust its appearance. It suits you if you regularly juggle several windows.

What you get

Find the right window and restore your workspace without rearranging everything.

You get a replacement for the macOS Dock that lets you see which window you’re choosing before you switch. Hover over an app to view its open windows, or use a thumbnail-based Cmd+Tab switcher to pick the one you need without opening several first.

You can arrange windows into halves, quarters, or custom grids, then save the setup for later. When you return to that task, a keystroke restores your layout using windows you already have open, reducing repeated dragging and resizing.

You can also adjust the Dock’s size, position, spacing, colors, and app groups to suit your workspace. Live widgets keep music controls, weather, clocks, and timers within reach. You pay once rather than taking on a subscription.

  • Choose windows by sight

    You can preview open windows from the Dock or Cmd+Tab instead of guessing from app icons.

  • Restore familiar arrangements

    You can save window layouts and reapply them to your existing open windows with a keystroke.

  • Spend less time resizing

    You can place windows into halves, quarters, or custom grids rather than positioning each one manually.

  • Make the Dock fit

    You can change its placement, spacing, colors, and app groups to match how you use your Mac.

  • Keep everyday checks nearby

    You can check weather and world clocks, control music, or use timers from live widgets in the bar.

Best for

  • You regularly switch among multiple windows in the same app
  • You reuse specific window arrangements for different tasks
  • You want more control over your Dock’s appearance

Skip it if

You don’t need it if the standard macOS Dock and window controls already suit your workflow.

From the developer

DockApp is a Dock customizer for Mac. It replaces the system Dock with one you can shape from scratch — hover any app to see live window previews, switch between open windows with a thumbnail-based Cmd+Tab, and snap windows into halves, quarters, or your own grids.
