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 โ 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 โ 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 โ hides every app in the group
Live indicators show which apps in a group are currently running, and clicking a running app restores its windows โ 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
โ1โ9 switches groups inside the panel.
โฅโง1โ9 are true system-wide hotkeys that work even in full-screen apps โ with no Accessibility or Input Monitoring permissions needed.

DockGroups's answer:
SwiftUI & AppKit
Based on our record, LayAuto seems to be more popular. It has been mentiond 1 time since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
Also, I'm using LayAuto software for window placement on a large display (split display in various sized grids - let me know if you want me to share my defaults). This is absolutely invaluable, as otherwise you spend most of your time arranging windows. Another one I've used and likes is Magnet, but it didn't allow me to customise the split and the keyboard shortcuts. Source: almost 5 years ago
