Your call
Replace Apple’s Dock. Or keep both.
Run multi.dock next to the macOS Dock, or let it take over: Apple’s Dock stays hidden while multi.dock runs and comes back when it quits. Bottom, left or right edge, on any display.
- Badges: unread counts, read from Apple’s Dock.
- Running apps: with a dot underneath, like you know it.
- Trash: drop an item on it to remove it from the Dock.
- Click to minimise: optional, for the app in front.
Widgets
22 widgets. 43 styles. All live.
Widgets sit in the Dock next to your apps, 1.25 icons tall, in a style that fits the content. Click one for the details. Add them from the gallery with a click or drag them onto the Dock, duplicate the ones you need twice.
Docks
One Dock for work. One for after.
Keep several Docks, each with its own apps, widgets and colour. Switch with a shortcut, a swipe or from the menu bar. The colour shows in the menu bar and on the Dock’s grip, so you know where you are.

Follows your Focus
Add multi.dock’s Switch Dock filter in System Settings → Focus. When the Focus ends, the previous Dock comes back.
Scriptable
Open a Dock from Shortcuts, scripts or your launcher with a URL.

Minimised
Hover or focus an app
Window previews
See every window before you click.
Rest the pointer on a running app and its windows line up above the Dock: minimised ones, and those on other Spaces too. Click one to bring it forward. Thumbnails need Screen Recording access; without it you get a list.
Keep windows clear
Windows stop where the Dock starts.
macOS leaves room only for its own Dock. With Keep windows clear of the Dock on, windows snapped or zoomed to the screen edge by Magnet, Rectangle or the green button end above multi.dock. Windows you drag by hand stay where you put them.

Folders, links, spacers
Folders that open as stacks.
Give a folder a colour and a letter, rename it, show its name under the icon. A click opens a stack above the Dock, subfolders included. Links show the website’s icon, spacers in two sizes keep groups apart.
Make it yours
Sized by hand, not by settings.
Drag the end of the Dock to resize it, like Apple’s. When space runs out, icons shrink to your minimum size and then the Dock scrolls. Magnification, labels, auto-hide, and in fullscreen apps it comes back when you rest at the edge. Or keep it behind your windows as a desktop widget.
