A complete, native replacement for the Mac dock. Live previews, a dock for every display, widgets, and real glass, with magnification so smooth it feels like the system shipped it.
Every part of the Mac dock, rebuilt and taken further. Native SwiftUI, a tiny memory footprint, and the kind of detail you only notice because it is missing everywhere else.
You click an app and hope you land on the right window.
Hover any running app and its windows appear as live thumbnails. Then act on them in place. Close, minimise, tile to a half or a quarter, go full screen, or quit, without ever raising the app first.
Icons swell under the pointer on a real spring. A smooth wave ripples through their neighbours, runs at the full refresh of your display, and settles without a stutter. Tune the scale and reach until it feels like yours.
Press a pinned folder and its contents bloom into a panel you can pick from in one gesture. List or grid, sorted your way. Bundle related apps into one icon the same way for a tidier dock.
Right-click any app for the things you actually want. Minimise or show every window, close them all, relaunch, force quit, or run a saved command. The same rich menu the system never gave you.
Scroll up on the dock and it expands into a staging shelf. Drop files onto it to hold them, pin the folders you reach for most, and keep an AirDrop zone right there. Then drag anything straight into the app that needs it.
A maximised window swallows the dock whole.
Turn on overlap avoidance and DockDoor Pro quietly keeps your windows off the dock. Open something full screen and the dock still sits there, ready, instead of disappearing under it.
Every surface is yours to set. Material, size, layout, light, and feel, all live, all in seconds. Here is the dock changing its mind in real time.
The headline features are only half of it. Underneath sits a deep bench of power tools, the kind you keep discovering six months in.
It doesn't feel like an add-on.
It feels like macOS shipped it.
Over a hundred settings across fourteen pages, organised so the casual stuff stays simple and the power-user stuff is right there when you reach for it.
