What you get

You can act on Dock files without opening Finder.

DockClick lets you finish everyday file tasks where you’re already browsing: inside a Dock Stack. You can right-click a file to rename it, move it, make a compressed archive, send it through AirDrop, or put it in the Trash without opening a Finder window. Those actions remain available as you browse deeper into subfolders.

You can check an image, PDF, or movie with a Quick Look preview at the top of the menu before deciding what to do. When you’re ready to open a file, the menu also shows the icon of the app that will open it.

You can hide commands you don’t use, keeping the menu focused on your usual tasks. DockClick runs in the background, so you can return to your files without managing another app window or creating an account.

  • Skip the Finder detour

    You can rename, move, compress, or trash a file directly from its Dock Stack.

  • Check before you act

    You can preview images, PDFs, and movies in the menu before opening or sharing them.

  • Keep working in subfolders

    You get the same file actions at every folder depth within a Stack.

  • Keep useful commands visible

    You can hide menu entries you never use and keep your usual actions available.

Best for

  • You browse Downloads or other folders through Dock Stacks
  • You want to handle small file tasks without opening Finder
  • You regularly access nested folders from the Dock

Skip it if

You don’t need it if you rarely use Dock Stacks or prefer handling all your files in Finder.
