ACTIVEDOCK 2


CUSTOMIZABLE DOCK FOR MAC, APPLICATION LAUNCHER, APPLE DOCK REPLACEMENT

Problem: macOS Dock is the command center for your Mac. With Apple Dock you can
run applications, switch between apps, open documents and links.
Unfortunately, Apple Dock lacks many useful features such as Window Management
and Switching between Windows, appearance Customization, Hiding app icons.

Solution: ActiveDock is a full replacement for Apple Launchpad and Dock with
many new features.

ActiveDock allows grouping of documents and apps, quicker switching between apps
and windows, manage windows right from Window Previews panel.


Also, you can customize the appearance of icons and the dock itself as you
need. At the same time ActiveDock looks and behaves just like Apple Dock so you
won’t need to get used to it. It’s the same Dock, but better, and will be even
better with every new version.



It is also a great alternative to legacy Hyperdock, uBar, cDock, Dragthins and
other similar applications.

Requires macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) or later. macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) and Apple
Silicon fully supported.

APPLE SILICON

Native support for Apple Silicon and Intel Chips



John Big Fan of Active Dock 2. Here’s why. As far as I can tell, it’s the only
OS X dock app that meets my specific use case. As a best practice, having the
dock on the vertical edge (left or right) makes the most sense as it takes away
almost no useable resolution. I am right-handed so I like the dock on the left
side. It’s also under the Apple logo for convenience. (Note: It takes a few days
to get used to it, but then it’s worth it.) Now, when I use two monitors, the
“second” one is to my left. Unfortunately, the native OS X dock does not give me
the choice of which screen I want the dock to appear. It just puts it on the
second monitor, left hand side. Enter Active Dock 2. The app has more precision
on the screen where it appears. So, I can put the AD2 dock on the left side of
my main monitor and have the native doc on the left side of the second monitor.
Now, you can’t be a power user without some improvement suggestions. There’s a
biggie and a little one…

All in all, AD2 works as advertised and covers my use case almost perfectly.

I’ve use many application launchers (including DockShelf, and uBar 4), but none
are as fast and flexible as ActiveDock. ActiveDock is the most adaptable and
useable Dock replacement I’ve had the pleasure to use. And, each version just
keeps getting better!Richard Guay

I used your app for about 5 minutes before deciding it is well worth paying for
a lifetime licenseNestor Rybczuk
It is great to be able to customise the dock again which has been difficult
since 10.6.8. Excellent personal support! Thank you.David O'Connor

I had uBar before, but that was too windows-y for me, ActiveDock really brings
the functionality to the Mac interface. Good job!Mirko Kranenburg




Powerful alternative to Apple’s macOS dock. All things considered, ActiveDock is
an excellent alternative to the default macOS dock, especially since it comes
with extra features such as window previews, dock themes, and a very handy start
menu applet.
