DockFlow allows you to save Dock presets and set up your workspace exactly how you like it.

Open and close apps automatically on-demand when switching between presets to get a clean workspace in seconds.

Integrate with Focus Modes and change docks easily based on Focus Mode, and even timed Focus Modes.

App Groups

• Organize apps into named groups, each with a custom emoji icon, stored by bundle ID.

• Pin important groups to the top of the sidebar.

• Create and delete groups directly from the main panel — no detour into Settings.

• Default starter groups (Work, Creative, Utilities) appear on first launch.

• Group data is saved atomically with owner-only file permissions, and the app tolerates missing fields so updates never wipe your groups.

The Floating Panel

• A panel anchored next to your Dock that positions itself correctly whether your Dock sits at the bottom, left, or right of the screen.

• Opens from the Dock icon or the menu bar; closes automatically when it loses focus.

• A collapsible sidebar toggles between full labels (with shortcut badges) and a compact icon-only rail.

• Frosted-glass or solid panel style, plus System / Light / Dark themes.

Open All / Close All — the signature feature

• Open All launches every app in a group with a small stagger (so macOS doesn't choke on simultaneous launches).

• Close All does the reverse, and this is something no competing dock app offers:

• Plain click → hides every app in the group

  • ⌥-click → quits them gracefully
  • ⌘-click → force-quits them

• Live indicators show which apps in a group are currently running, and clicking a running app restores its windows — including minimized ones.

In-Panel App Management

• Add and remove apps right in the panel grid.

• Drag to reorder apps within a group.

• Right-click any app for Quit, Force Quit, or Show in Finder.

Keyboard Shortcuts

• ⌘1–9 switches groups inside the panel.

• ⌥⇧1–9 are true system-wide hotkeys that work even in full-screen apps — with no Accessibility or Input Monitoring permissions needed.

Menu Bar Mode

• An optional menu bar icon for quick access without using the Dock.
