As answered by people managing DockGroups and DockApp.
DockGroups's answer
SwiftUI & AppKit
DockApp's answer:
Built for macOS on macOS
DockApp's answer:
DockApp combines a customizable Dock replacement, live window previews on hover, a real window switcher, and window snapping with saved layouts — in one native, notarized app with no SIP hacks and no tracking. It does what three or four single-purpose utilities do, for a one-time price.
DockApp's answer:
One app does what three or four single-purpose tools do — and they actually work together — for a one-time price, not a subscription. It's native and notarized (no SIP disabling, no injection), fully private (no accounts, no tracking), runs on up to 3 Macs, and comes with a 14-day no-questions refund.
DockApp's answer:
Mac power users — developers, designers, writers and multi-monitor multitaskers — who already use window managers or Dock tweaks and prefer native, private, one-time-purchase apps over subscriptions. macOS 26, Apple silicon.
DockApp's answer:
The Mac Dock launches apps and not much else, so I was juggling separate tools for window previews, switching, snapping and restyling — none aware of each other. I built DockApp to do all of it in one native app, on public APIs only, with nothing to disable and nothing leaving your Mac. It's one of SKJ APPS, a small family of Mac utilities I build and support solo.
