This $20 top-rated app is meant to boost the functionality of your Mac dock
Even though macOS is often regarded as the best designed operating system out there, it could still use some improvements.
For starters, the dock — which holds the app we use on the regular — is way overdue for an upgrade. Its last major overhaul came with the introduction of the Mac OS X 10.0 which was launched in 2001. Like, if the Dock were a person, it can already vote in the presidential elections next year.
To be fair, there’s nothing particularly wrong about the dock. But it’s just… there. And although it is central to how we interact with the Mac, it doesn’t really do much aside from providing quick access to programs.
ActiveDock is like the Mac dock but on steroids. Earning rave reviews on Product Hunt, it improves upon the functionality of the dock, loading it with features like the ability to group documents and apps by topics, quickly switch between apps and windows, and manage windows directly from the Window Previews panel. If you have important files you want to keep at the ready, there’s a Folders View feature where you can store them for easy access. You can even customize the dock with custom icon sets and themes.
Get a lifetime license to ActiveDock today for only $19.99 — 60% off the usual cost of $49.99. This grants you access to major updates and features for eternity.
