A live switcher, snap zones and saved layouts, for a start. DockApp doesn't just hold your apps; it runs your windows.
Hover any app and all of its open windows appear, full-size and live, updating as they change — a browser full of tabs or a stack of Terminal sessions. Pick the one you want without moving your pointer off the Dock.
A thumbnail of every open window across every app, so the right one is easier to find than in the built-in ⌘Tab. It takes over ⌘Tab out of the box, and hands it back to macOS automatically when you quit the app.
Drag a window to a zone or press a shortcut to snap it — halves, thirds, quarters, sixths, eighths, or a grid you draw yourself. Then save the whole arrangement as a named layout.
Come back to it any time and DockApp drops every open window back into place in a single click. Build a writing layout, a coding layout and a review layout once, then switch between them like desktops.
Turn on focus-follows-mouse and whichever window your pointer rests on comes to the front on its own — no click. Off by default, waits for a delay you set, and leaves minimized windows alone.
The red unread counts, right on your Dock icons, so you can see what's waiting without opening a thing.
Drop files, folders, even a scrap of text onto a shelf in the Dock, then drag them into any app when you need them — no round trip through Finder.
A clock, battery, a downloads stack, and live CPU, memory and disk readouts, sitting in the Dock and updating as you work.
Move it to the bottom, top, left or right, send it to whichever display you want, or let it follow your pointer from screen to screen.
Send the focused window to a half, third, quarter, sixth or eighth of the screen with a keystroke, and rebind every shortcut to whatever feels natural.
Dial in the icon spacing, the padding around the bar, and the exact gap from the screen edge until the Dock sits just how you want it.

Coming SoonLike every SKJ APPS utility, DockApp is specifically designed to provide a feature-rich and useful experience, then stay out of the way, so it feels like a normal part of macOS rather than one more thing to manage.
No. One-time purchase. Buy it once and it's yours, including free updates to this version.
Up to three you own at the same time. Deactivate one and move the seat to another whenever you like.
No. DockApp is Apple-notarized and uses only public APIs. There's nothing to disable and no prompts to get past.
Absolutely none. Nothing leaves your Mac — no accounts, no analytics, no trackers. The only time it reaches the internet is to check for updates, and even that's optional — turn it off and it stays completely offline.
A Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 26 or later.
