Dockish
A better dock for your Mac
The dock Apple should have shipped
A dock on every monitor, folders like your iPhone, and clicks that do what you meant — so you stop fighting the one part of macOS you touch most.
Everything the dock should be
Powerful features that make your workflow smoother.
Multi-Monitor Support
Show your dock on all monitors, mirror it, or configure independent docks for each display with their own pinned apps.
iPhone-Style Folders
Create folders by dragging apps together. See a 2x2 preview grid, auto-naming, and expand with a click.
Smart Window Management
Clicks that do what you meant: launch, focus, or restore minimized windows. Hover for live window previews, scroll an icon to cycle its windows.
Rich Context Menus
Chrome profile switching, media controls, menu bar actions, Force Quit, Open at Login, and more.
Full Customization
Icon size (24–96px), spacing, magnification, themes (glass, dark, light, tinted), app name labels, dividers and spacers — all live, no restarts.
Beautiful Animations
The real Dock's magnification wave, spring launch bounces, slide-apart drag reordering, and buttery 120Hz motion throughout.

PlannedFrequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Dockish.
Does Dockish replace the default macOS dock?
Yes — Dockish Settings has a one-click "Hide macOS Dock" that tucks the system dock away (fully reversible with one click), making Dockish your only dock.
How do multi-monitor docks work?
You can choose to show Dockish on all monitors (mirrored or independent), or select a specific monitor. Independent mode lets each display have its own pinned apps and folders. Hot-plug is fully supported.
Can I use folders like on iPhone?
Yes! Drag one app onto another to create a folder. You'll see a 2x2 preview grid of the apps inside. Click to expand and access all apps, with full context menu support.
What's smart window management?
Clicking an app behaves like the native Dock, but smarter: not running launches it with a bounce, running brings it forward, minimized restores it — and it works even with apps that hide their windows from macOS. Hover for live window previews, scroll on an icon to cycle its windows, right-click for the full window list.
Does Dockish support Chrome profiles?
Yes! Right-click Chrome and you'll see all your Chrome profiles listed. Select one to open a new window in that profile directly from the dock.
What happens when an app goes fullscreen?
Dockish automatically hides when any app enters fullscreen mode, just like the native dock. It reappears when you exit fullscreen.
